New submission from Jonathan Eunice:
The re module specially handles Unicode escapes (\uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX) so that
even raw strings (r'...') have symbolic Unicode characters. But it has not
supported named Unicode escapes such as r'\N{EM DASH}', making the escapes for
string literals and the escapes for regular expressions asymmetric
