Improve regex highlighting in Python

[monosans]

Describe what you want

The regex highlighting in Python in Dark+ is fancier than in One Dark Pro.

Additional context

As you can see in the screenshots, Dark+ uses 3 colors for regex highlighting, while One Dark Pro only uses 2.

Code from screenshots for reproducing:

import re
tag_pattern = re.compile(r"\[(id\d+?)\|.+?\]")

Hey, it looks like the related commit has introduced configuration that overrides pre-existing block:

{
  name: 'Escape Characters',
  scope: 'constant.character.escape',
  settings: {
    foreground: 'fountainBlue',
  },
},

This changes highlighting for tokens outside of regular expressions. Was that intended?

@tomaciazek no, just want improve regex highlighting, could you provide some code to show what highlight had been affected？

[tomaciazek]

Sure.
In Python:
