Hi,

I am using RegularExpressionConversion (from ZConfig/datatypes.py) and 
thought it be neat to have an init method looking like this:

def __init__(self, regex, options):
    self._rx = re.compile(regex, options)

so that we can pass re.DOTALL as an argument for example.
And also have the call method:

def __call__(self, value):
         m = self._rx.match(value)

use "search" instead of "match", to not be forced to have characters 
matching at the beginning of "value".

Is it a good idea? Is there any reason why we couldn't do that?
Thanks
Lucie
