Not true:

$ pcre2grep -l '\(\?J\)' doc/*
doc/pcre2.txt
doc/pcre2_pattern_info.3
doc/pcre2api.3
doc/pcre2pattern.3
doc/pcre2syntax.3

Well, there's not much to say. (?J) within a pattern sets the PCRE2_DUPNAMES
option, in the same way that (?i) sets the PCRE2_CASELESS option. However, I
see that the two examples that follow the sentence you quote from pcre2syntax.3
do not actually show (?J), so I have added (?J) to the front of them.
