I really don't see the point of hacking the POSIX interface in non-POSIX
ways to add all the features of the native interface (such as study).
The POSIX interface was added so that existing programs that use that
interface could make use of PCRE in a basic fashion without changing
their code. If they are going to change their code, they might as well
move to the PCRE native interface and have done with it.

Sorry if that sounds rather fierce. :-)
