No, just checking you meant what you said. If user wants four vec items per capture, she can have four.

Probably the useful > combinations would be "nosubstrings starts ends" or "nosubstrings starts > lengths". Maybe sometimes also nocaptures.

The vector entry size could be much small when nosubtrings option is > in effect (which I wish we'd named "nostrings"). Want "nostrings" aka "nosubtrings"? Okay, will implement starts aka offsets, ends, lengths, nostrings aka nosubtrings
