We might keep the limit in PCRE2 though, as it should be IMHO far smaller anyway.
The usual GNU rule is "Avoid arbitrary limits on the length or number of any data structure" <https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Semantics.html>. That being said, if PCRE2 greatly misbehaves with a large stack size then we should impose some sort of limit, if only to insulate 'grep' from PCRE2's problems.
