2. Note that --enable-utf and --enable-ucp have been amalgamated into
--enable-unicode, and this is now the default.

While this seems reasonnable at the first look, linking of these options has one unfortunate drawback: it dramatically changes the semantics of \w, \W, \b etc. and previously working patterns over UTF strings could produce different results.

If the two options remain merged, at least a (*NOUCP) possibility should be offered to maintain backward compatibility.
