3944	django.core.urlresolvers.reverse_helper doesn't support full regex syntax	forest@…	Jacob	"reverse_helper doesn't support the full syntax offered by the Python re module.  Actually, it probably can't support everything.

(Opinion: parsing regexes is difficult and dangerous; are you sure you want to do that?)

Here is my example that failed:

^account(?:/(?P<subpath>.*))?$

The current implementation does not pretend to support nested parentheses.  I am slightly skeptical that this approach can deal well with the trailing ? above.
