Comment # 6 on bug 1183960 from Michael Matz

An even more aggressive solution would be to stop having the pcre2-posix
library at all.  Sources that consciously want the pcre2 variant of the POSIX
regex facility can include pcre2posix.h without other changes in their sources
and link
against libpcre2 (without -posix).  And sources who do not consciously want
pcre2
under the POSIX names wouldn't link against libpcre2-posix anyway.  So
providing
libpcre2-posix at all seems to be a mere rope waiting to be hanged by.

But if the above is deemed too aggressive, then yeah, at least moving it to a
separate package, not pulled in by mere chance, and making sure that no
libraries
we provide link against it, would be a solution as well.  So, thanks for doing
that :-)  (I came from the gdb side via ncurses to look at this, and my initial
reaction was: ncurses linking against pcre2-posix?  ugh, disaster in waiting :)
