You are quite right. The documentation is wrong and confusing. The code is the
way it is for historical reasons - saving/restoring was not in the original
design. The fact that pcre_study() currently gets two blocks with one malloc()
should not be relevant to the caller ... it is possible that it could change in
future.

There is a Release Candidate for 8.13 out for testing at the moment. So far
I've received no adverse comments, so I expect to put out the proper release
next week. However, as this is just a documentation change that does not affect
the code, I have updated the pcreapi man page and committed the patch, so it
will be in the next release.
