New submission from Matthias Bussonnier <bussonniermatth...@gmail.com>:
better error/exception name for re.compile error.
Currently the error raise by re.compile when it fails to compile is `error`
defined in sre_constants.py:
```
class error(Exception):
"""Exception raised for invalid regular expressions.
```
This is quite disturbing as most exception start with an uppercase and have a
tiny bit more descriptive name.
Would it be possible to have it renamed as something more explicit like
`ReCompileError`, and still keeping the potential `error` alias as deprecated ?
