Also, since 642433707 ("This patch adds new functions regexp_count(),
regexp_instr(), regexp_like(), and regexp_substr(), and extends
regexp_replace() with some new optional arguments") is already in,
we need to think about how this interacts with that. Do we even
still need any more functionality in this area? Should we try to
align the APIs?
Those new function APIs have some Oracle-isms that I don't especially
care for, like use of int for what should be a boolean. Still, users
aren't going to give us a pass for wildly inconsistent APIs just because
some functions came from Oracle and some didn't.
