change the cache size for re.escape

picnixz · picnixz · commit bb6c3eef37c7 · 2024-08-28T12:08:18.000+02:00
The rationale for this change is as follows:

re.escape() is only used to cache single Unicode characters
in shell patterns; we may heuristically assume that they are
ISO-8859-1 encodable, thereby requiring a cache of size 256.
To allow non-traditional glyphs (or alphabets with a small
number of common glyphs), we double the cache size.
