[docs] copy&waste problem

Hello,
I found a bug on library/re.html
 -> just before subsection 7.2.2
talking about character classes, the descriptions of the complements of 
\s and \w - that is: \S and \W - should read
[…] With LOCALE, it will match any character in this set not defined as 
space in the current locale. If UNICODE is set, this will match anything 
other than [ \t\n\r\f\v] not marked as space in the Unicode character 
properties database.
instead of
[…] With LOCALE, it will match any character not in this set, and not 
defined as space in the current locale. If UNICODE is set, this will 
match anything other than [ \t\n\r\f\v] and characters marked as space 
in the Unicode character properties database.
the same holds for \W, but there’s less to fix; I won’t repeat the 
current wording this time, but only provide a correction:
[…] If UNICODE is set, this will match anything other than [0-9_] not 
marked as alphanumeric in the Unicode character properties database.
… and while we’re at it: add a sentence about what happens if both flags 
are given (I guess they don’t interfere badly but both apply as expected)
