The caret has several meanings:

* Generally, it is a beginning of string: r'^bol'

* When MULTILINE is on, it is a beginning of line: r'^bos'

* Escaped with a backslash, it is just a caret: r'a\^b'

* Immediately after a left bracket, it inverts a character set: r'[^aeiou]'

* Elsewhere in brackets, it is just a caret: r'[ab^d]'
