Anyway, I did this partially as an exercise so not a huge deal to me if it doesn't make it in, so +0 from me for adding the functionality.

So, where's the code?! :) Not on SF since the bloody thing is down! I will stick it up on a patch, assign to you, and report the tracker # here as soon as it is back up.

OK, http://www.python.org/sf/1022698 has the patch. But with Tim's metaclass solution I don't know how much people will care about this one. =)

I guess the question becomes whether people will prefer to have to define a new class to override the regex or do it per instance (I suspect the former, although my code does the latter).

If Tim's solution is used I would like to suggest that we also allow for overloading the bogus group since that was the last thing in contention about the implementation (sans the whole unicode subclass deal).
