I think the module is better-off without this function.  There are already more functions than most people know or remember.  For most cases, re.search() or re.finditer() will suffice.  

Also, I don't recall having seen findall(...)[0].  If it does exist, it is likely an education problem (i.e. something that can be addressed with documentation or a faq).
