Without it, Python cannot handle regular expressions involving 4-byte unicode chars. This is also the default in Python >= 3.3

I just tripped over this:

In [1]: import re
In [2]: re.compile(u'[\U00010000-\U0010ffff]')
error: bad character range

Whereas it works with the system python2 and python3 on Fedora, probably all other distros too.

I think its pretty uncontroversial, merging...
