That sounds like what's meant to go into vector. 

Do I respect "nocaptures" option if present and not return matched subject 
substring?

I assume you want that substring to go into variable if named?

Can I assume that pcre_exec will always return an empty vector
if PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL  returned and pcre version < 8.0?  If so means I don't 
have to do a version check, just a "how many elements in reteruend offsets 
vector" check.
