Description
While using Django REST Framework's Schema generator, I found out they're using simplify_regex(); however, current version has a few shortcomings, namely non-capturing groups are broken.
I added a pull request (see https://github.com/django/django/pull/8414) which fixes this problems, it also is faster and handles many more regex patterns. I also extended the test_simplify_regex test.
