What’s the status of regex inclusion in the stdlib?
I'm not bothered about it. It's quite a bit bigger than the re module, and,
anyway, keeping it as a third-party module gives me more freedom to make
updates, which are available for a range of Python versions.
I still think it could be a good candidate for a first "bundled"
module, where we don't migrate it fully into the CPython development
process, but *do* officially bless it and provide it by default in the
form of a bundled wheel file (similar to what we do with pip).
So like pip, we would bundle the current version, install it in
site-packages, and users who use it could upgrade as desired, even after
x.y bugfix ends.
What would be nice would be to have a short entry in the docs for
bundled modules that links to the real doc, wherever it is.
