Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Backrefs is a wrapper around Python's built-in [Re][re] and the 3rd party [Regex][regex] library. Backrefs adds various additional back references (and a couple other features) that are known to some regular expression engines, but not to Python's Re and/or Regex. The supported back references actually vary depending on the regular expression engine being used as the engine may already have support for some. ```python from backrefs import bre >>> pattern = bre.compile(r'(\p{Letter}+)') >>> pattern.sub(r'\C\1\E', 'sometext') 'SOMETEXT' ```
