PCRE: Extended quotes (\Q...\E) and octal ascii characters (\000) support #295

Closed kit-ty-kate closed 2 months ago

kit-ty-kate commented 3 months ago

The pcre module doesn't seem to support extended quotes (\Q...\E) or octal ascii characters (\000), which seems to be part of its specification http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt

If the Prce module is only meant to support a subset of PCRE, i think it would at least be nice to note that in the module documentation somewhere

README already says that "a subset of the PCRE interface" is supported.

fair enough. In that case i've opened https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-re/pull/296 to make that clear in the mli too
