I had a similar experience years ago.
Part of my worry was that PCRE is squirrelly about dealing with
improperly-coded data - it has undefined behavior in that case, which is
unacceptable for 'grep'. So one must be verrrry careful in doing any API
conversion. I didn't have the time, at the time. Still don't.
