I can't comment on this. Paolo?
The non-thread-safety isn't only for RE_NO_SUB, but for all syntax
options. RE_NO_SUB makes it worse only because it is _not_ a syntax
option, but a setting to provide improved matching speed.
I think RE_NO_SUB should be documented, and a not on non-thread-safety
of re_set_syntax_options should be added.
