Commit 0151375
Add re.VERBOSE flag documentation example (GH-97678)
The current re.VERBOSE documentation example leaves space for ambiguous
interpretation. One may read that spaces within the `(?:` token are
spaces inside the non-capturing group (such as `(?: )`). This patch
removes the ambiguity by including examples after the statement.
