That patch isn't right, because the relevant code inside libpcre2 uses 
size_t, not PCRE2_SIZE and that means our hacky workaround should use 
SIZE_MAX, not PCRE2_SIZE_MAX, so that it's consistent with libpcre2's 
internals.

Of course this is all academic on all existing platforms, since IDX_MAX 
is way less than SIZE_MAX.
