      They were added in 436c3d5 (between 1.6a2 and 2.0), but the purpose is not known. See also https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/DVSQGM5LO4TK63C63H6KQ6XBTBQGFLEN/. The feature was not fully implemented, and it was disabled short time later in 29c4ba9. Currently the only effect of this flag is that repetition operators (+, *, ?, {}) do not work. A comment was added in 3562f11:

      SRE_FLAG_TEMPLATE = 1 # template mode (disable backtracking)

      It's all. I guess it could have some relation to possessive repetition operators, except that it is a global flag.

      I think it should be removed without deprecation because it never really worked and never was documented.
