It has occurred to me that all you need is the length of the tables (in 
bytes) and then you can save/restore them yourself. I could most easily 
do this by adding a new option to pcre2_config(). [It's not really a 
configuration value, but that saves having to invent a whole new 
function.] Does this seem reasonable/useful?
