Does anyone know why the above code is the way it is?
Is it really safe to run QUIT from within the matching loop?
If so, why not do it under Unix as well?
On GNU and Unix, quitting happens immediately in the signal handler.
That is what immediate_quit is for.
Apparently immediate_quit does not work on Windows, or at least
someone thinks it does not, and implemented an alternate way to
quit instantly from the regexp search.
