-1. Some time ago the config macro SUPPORT_UTF8 was changed to SUPPORT_UTF
-because it also applies to UTF-16 and UTF-32. However, this change was not made
-in the pcre2cpp files; consequently the C++ wrapper has from then been compiled
-with a bug in it, which would have been picked up by the unit test except that
-it also had its UTF8 code cut out. The bug was in a global replace when moving

-2. The C++ wrapper got broken a long time ago (version 7.3, August 2007) when
-(*CR) was invented (assuming it was the first such start-of-pattern option).
-The wrapper could never handle such patterns because it wraps patterns in

7. Fix subject buffer overread in JIT when UTF is disabled and \X or \R has
a greater than 1 fixed quantifier. This issue was found by Yunho Kim.
-8. If a pattern started with a subroutine call that had a quantifier with a
-minimum of zero, an incorrect "match must start with this character" could be
-recorded. Example: /(?&xxx)*ABC(?<xxx>XYZ)/ would (incorrectly) expect 'A' to
-be the first character of a match.
