Description

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation and tests for Python's re behavior and the string module usage described in the report. Compare support for scoped (?a:...), (?L:...), and (?u:...) flags with the Python 3.7 documentation. Done means these flags work within a group and the behavior has regression coverage.
