Feature Request for pcre_match*()

Hi - I'd like to ask that the pcre_match*() functions be modified such that they can also return position info on where the match(s) occured, akin to Perl's pos(). I think this would be a very useful addition, plus it requires minimal code changes since the actual function, php_pcre_match() computes the values presently but just throws them away. I've modified my own build to do this, and I've attached a diff...but I'd regard this as proof-of-concept code since I did it in a hurry (so maybe it can make 4.2.0?) and I haven't coded in C since my university classes couple years back. It's actually kinda of embarassing, but heck I don't know any of you. =P. The only really difficulty would be deciding how to return the values...I've thought up a bunch of ways of implementing this other than the stupidly simple add another nested array I did, like use a resource, a new function, return a 2nd array, etc. --Ricky
