As Havoc pointed out, the code is completely unextractable.

But also, there are a lot of bugs in it in 5.6 (they may have been
fixed for 5.8); I started working on porting pcre to UTF-8 at one
point, and intended to copy what Perl did for behavior, but quickly
ran into misbehavior deep in Perl's regex optimizer...
