As an example, some months ago I read on StackOverflow an old answer where someone mentioned trying the "regex" module but had found that some Unicode properties were unreliable. That came as a surprise to me because no-one had reported such a problem (and I still don't know what that problem was). Compare that with a recent bug report that it didn't work correctly on Mac OS X. The reporter was very helpful and that bug is now fixed.
