[issue26378] Typo in regex documentation

[David Rager]

New submission from David Rager:

In the following sentence, "few" should probably be "fewer."

"Repetitions such as * are greedy; when repeating a RE, the matching engine 
will try to repeat it as many times as possible. If later portions of the 
pattern don’t match, the matching engine will then back up and try again with 
few repetitions."

https://docs.python.org/2/howto/regex.html

Thanks for such a great language and documentation!  My apologies if this isn't 
actually a typo.
