Refactor - remove re._compile?

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Here is re.compile:

>>> import re, inspect
>>> print(inspect.getsource(re.compile))
def compile(pattern, flags=0):
    "Compile a regular expression pattern, returning a Pattern object."
    return _compile(pattern, flags)

It just calls re._compile with the same arguments.

When it was introduced it looked like there was some benefit to having an "implementation hook" to swap in impl from sre_compile.py.

I think the benefit doesn't really exist anymore - it seems like there should be a slight performance improvement, and simpler tracebacks, to just move the body of _compile directly into compile.

Commencez dans Lib/re/init.py en examinant re.compile et re._compile, ainsi que le travail associé dans gh-122357. Déterminez si le hook d’implémentation peut être supprimé sans modifier le comportement ; le travail est considéré comme terminé lorsque l’indirection redondante a disparu et que le module d’expressions régulières reste fonctionnel.
