More preg_match_* control

Hi, Apparently a few people are doing a lot of bioinformatics data sifting with PHP and one of them asked me if it would be possible to add a parameter to preg_match_* functions to indicate the starting offset for the search. I think it's a good idea, and having looked at the current implementation, I think this parameter can just come after the 'flags' one. It won't be used that often, so specifying 0 for flags in that case is okay. Any thoughts or objections? -Andrei * Entropy isn't what it used to be. *
