External Method that has input parameters like "re.compile" and returns a wrapper for the compiled regular expression. The wrapper can provide the methods of compiled regular expressions, again wrapping the results if necessary (such as for match objects). Are you a volunteer?
I wish I could get some form of reply from a definitive source (core developers, maybe?). I would need about an afternoon to implement it, but I did not yet need regular expressions in TTW code...
