this one is fairly simple. if `m' is a match object, i'd like to be able to write m[1] instead of m.group(1). (similarly, m[:] should return the same as list(m.groups()).) this would remove some of the verbosity of regexp code, with probably a net gain in readability; certainly no loss. Please post a patch to sf.net/projects/python (or its successor).

Given the list of issues and subsequent discussion so far, I think a PEP will be required. This needs more documentation than the typical patch.
