Description:
------------
I wish for a PCRE function to get the minimum matching length of a regular expression. For example:

* preg_min_length('/^HTTP.*/'): 4
* preg_min_length('/^(?:HTTP)?.+/'): 1
* preg_min_length('/^(?:HTTP)?.*/'): 0

We wrap around the PCRE library and can only use whats available, so this isn't possible
