Tom, note that nobody is arguing that what you are requesting is a bad thing :)

As far as I know, Matthew is the only one currently working on the regex 
support in Python.  (Other developers will commit small fixes if someone 
proposes a patch, but no one that I've seen other than Matthew is working on 
the deeper issues.)  If you want to help out that would be great.

And as far as this particular issue goes, yes the difference between the narrow 
and wide build has been a known issue for a long time, but has become less and 
less ignorable as unicode adoption has grown. Martin's PEP that Matthew 
references is the only proposed fix that I know of.  There is a GSoc project 
working on it, but I have no idea what the status is.
