"\W" regex pattern, when used with `re.ASCII`, is expected to have the same behavior as "[^a-zA-Z0-9_]" (see [1]). For example, the following `sub()` call ``` >>> re.sub('\W', '', '½ a', re.ASCII) '½a' ``` should return the same as this one: ``` >>> re.sub('[^a-zA-Z0-9_]', '', '½ a', re.ASCII) 'a' ``` But it does not.

For example, the following `sub()` call

>>> re.sub('\W', '', '½ a', re.ASCII)
'½a'

should return the same as this one:

```
>>> re.sub('[^a-zA-Z0-9_]', '', '½ a', re.ASCII)
'a'
```

But it does not.
