Named grouping not supported

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently esmre doesn't support regular expressions with named groups.
For example hints(...) function works well with regexp :
[0-3][0-9]/[0-1][0-9]/[1-2][0-9]{3}
but returns nothing (?P<date>[0-3][0-9]/[0-1][0-9]/[1-2][0-9]{3})

The parser in the hints function is currently very naive, and can't extract 
hints
from inside any kind of group. For example:

{{{
>>> esmre.hints(r"([0-3][0-9]/[0-1][0-9]/[1-2][0-9]{3})")
[]
}}}

This was done to simplify the hints function. I do plan to add better support 
for
groups soon.

Thanks for raising the issue.
