I often do same mistake again and again. Most of re module's method
takes optional argument "flags" like this.
But, sub() takes optional argument "count" not "flags".
So, when I write this code, it doesn't behave like what I want.
I think it would be nice if the method which takes optional argument
"flags" and do same behavior with re.compile(pattern[, flags]).sub(repl,
string). Thank you.

Implementing bpo-3482 should solve this problem, and I will try to add
it to bpo-2636 so that it is captured in the general Regexp 2.7
redesign.
