note that posix uses a special set syntax, [:name:], for this purpose:

[:alnum:]   [:cntrl:]   [:lower:]   [:space:]
[:alpha:]   [:digit:]   [:print:]   [:upper:]
[:blank:]   [:graph:]   [:punct:]   [:xdigit:]

adding a new character escape will probably break more existing expressions, but no matter what syntax we chose, this is (micro-)PEP territory.
