Groups are numbered left-to-right irrespective of the expression
contents.
I am quite happy with the names being merely apseudonym for the
positional
group number and don't see a problem with not allowing multiple
occurrences of the same group name.
I did see some article about RE's and their speed. It seems that if
Pythons
RE package distinguished between 'grep style' RE' and the full set of
Python
RE's then their are much faster and efficient algorithms available for
the
grep style subset.
