         PCRE2_EXTRA_ALT_BSUX                 Extended alternate \u, \U, and
                                                \x handling
         PCRE2_EXTRA_BAD_ESCAPE_IS_LITERAL    Treat all invalid escapes as
                                                a literal following character
         PCRE2_EXTRA_ESCAPED_CR_IS_LF         Interpret \r as \n
         PCRE2_EXTRA_MATCH_LINE               Pattern matches whole lines
         PCRE2_EXTRA_MATCH_WORD               Pattern matches "words"

       There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the pcre2api
