A better rule would be "you may access the memory buffer in a PyString or PyUnicode object with the GIL released as long as you own a reference to the string object." Everything else is out of bounds (or not worth the bother).
Is that a "yes" regarding the OP's original question about releasing the GIL during regexp searches?
