Came across the use of <regex object>.regs attribute in
the tools/scripts/classfix.py program (line 162), but
it's not an attribute that's documented in the Python
Library Reference.

It was pointed out to me on the comp.lang.python list that
regs is part of the now-defunction regex package.

Perhaps it would be possible to denote the module as
deprecated in the regex.py code? Dunno, but I do know that
PyLint didn't pick up on it as being deprecated.

regex will be removed in Python 2.5.
