When I looked at the code, I found that it *is* the bumpalong offset
that is already being returned.
PCRE version 8.00-RC1 2009-04-23
/abc\K123/
xyzabc123pqr
0: 123
xyzabc12\P
Partial match: abc12
I had forgotten about \K when I was doing this, and I assumed that the
bumpalong offset would always be the same as the start of match offset.
The new documentation is therefore wrong. I will update it to point out
what happens if \K is used.
Question: Do you need both the bumpalong offset and the partial match? I
can't think of any reason why you would.
