Description

I'm wondering if this project already maintains Python typestubs (pyi) for the google-re2 package.

If not, I've written typestubs for my own personal use, would this project be interested in accepting them? Otherwise, I can maintain a separate typestub library.

Research direction
This issue is a feature request to add Python type stubs (pyi) to the google re2 package. The contributor has offered to contribute their personal stubs. Review the discussion in the comments (14 comments) to understand any maintainer feedback or requirements. Check if there is a consensus on including the stubs and any specific style or coverage expectations. The repo currently has no pyi files, so the task would involve creating them based on the existing C++ API exposed to Python.
