| There's no mention of `match.regs` in the documentation of the `re` module. | ||

| I'm wondering what "regs" is supposed to stand for. It might be for "regions", but that term is used nowhere else. It should really be named "spans" to be consistent. | ||

| Mark, I prefer to leave this to someone else. | ||

| There's an interesting bit of history here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/dev/236584 | ||

| IOW: it was already intentionally undocumented back then, and only added for compatibility reasons. Probably should be deprecated and removed at some point. |
