Matthew Barnett added the comment:

Tim, my point is that if the MULTILINE flag happens to be turned on, '$' won't 
just match at the end of the string (or slice), it'll also match at a newline, 
so wrapping the pattern in (?:...)$ in that case could give the wrong answer, 
but wrapping it in (?:...)\Z would give the right answer.
