Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/migration73.incompatible
---
The section "Backward Incompatible Changes" on https://wiki.php.net/rfc/pcre2-migration
mentions many issues that would be nice to know before upgrading.
At the very least a link to this section should be provided on this migration page.

Is there anything in particular that requires documentation here? Did you encounter some specific issue? The quoted section is mostly concerned with changes that are not user-visible.

There is also a short section about the PCRE ugrade elsewhere in
the migration guide:

I feel I have answered to Nikita's question back in March, but as I don't see my comment here in the bug report, maybe something failed before it got submitted.

Anyway, the answer is yes, I encountered a specific issue after upgrading that I would have paid more attention to during upgrade, had I seen that my regexes might potentially break. I don't remember the exact error message anymore.

I know there's mention of changes to PCRE elsewhere, but I think it would be proper to put a link on https://php.net/migration73.incompatible pointing to https://wiki.php.net/rfc/pcre2-migration

If you want, I can submit the patch myself. Should I wait until the status changes to verified?
