/-- This set of tests is not Perl-compatible. It checks on special features
    of PCRE's API, error diagnostics, and the compiled code of some patterns.
    It also checks the non-Perl syntax the PCRE supports (Python, .NET, 
    Oniguruma). Finally, there are some tests where PCRE and Perl differ, 
    either because PCRE can't be compatible, or there is a possible Perl 
    bug.
    
    NOTE: This is a non-UTF set of tests. When UTF support is needed, use
    test 5, and if Unicode Property Support is needed, use test 7. --/
