I might have been a little too naive in my implementation. There seems to be a bunch of deepcopy issues when adding properties to form fields. More experts opinions welcome...

After some investigation, it appears that the field validators list is shared between form base_fields and instance fields. When I modify validators in _set_regex, the base_fields 'url' validators list is also modified, hence future calls to create new forms will have a modified validators list, which is not intended.
If I subclass __deepcopy__ and add result.validators = self.validators[:], the problem I had disappears.
Is it a bug, a feature? Did I miss something?

The issue I had has been resolved in #17127. So the patch is still valid.
