Why a parenthesized sub-pattern produces recursion?
Why each of a consequent parenthesized sub-patterns produces not
consequent but a deep recursion match() calls?

PCRE version 8.11 2010-12-10
/(a)(b)(c)/
\Mabc
Minimum match() limit = 5
Minimum match() recursion limit = 4
0: abc
1: a
2: b
3: c

Thanx.
