The following comment is wrong, 

    except IndexError:
        # non-BMP characters; XXX now they should work
        return charset

sys.maxunicode != 65535 is now always true in Python 3.3

        if sys.maxunicode != 65535:
            # XXX: negation does not work with big charsets
            # XXX2: now they should work, but removing this will make the
            # charmap 17 times bigger
            return charset

I don't know what to do with this issue. The code looks to work anyway, so I guess that it's safer to not touch it :-)

There are a lot of dead or suboptimal code in the re module. For example _sre.CODESIZE now can't be 2. We could cleanup the code as side effect of optimization.
