If you do: >>> import regex as re >>> dir(re) you get over 160 items, many of which begin with an underscore and so are private. Couldn't __dir__ be reimplemented to eliminate them. (I know that the current re module's dir() also returns private items, but I guess this is a legacy of not having the __dir__ special method?)
