Ok I understand this argument.
The goal for me is not to have PCRE posix 100% compatible with POSIX REs, but I
am migrating an application from POSIX to PCRE (because PCRE supports UTF-8)
and PCRE posix definitely helps because of its quite similar interface.

What about my proposal of an extra option of PCRE posix: REG_NOTEMPTY (0x0100)?
The patch would become:
if (REG_NOTEMPTY) options |= PCRE_NOTEMPTY;
