A recent thread gave me the idea that it would be convenient to have
another flag for `regexp_matches` to make it return a singular
two-dimensional array of matches when performing a global match.

Why? Well, basically you avoid having to aggregate the rows afterwards
using by wrapping it in a subquery.

Is there some interest in this?

The idea is to add a new flag `a` that would imply `g` internally when
performing the match, but then return an array, instead of a set. Or
more accurately it will return a set that will always have exactly one
array. The array would be empty if no matches are found, or would
contain arrays of match results otherwise.

I have not looked into implementing this yet, but I may have time in
8-9 days or so.

For now, I'm just looking if there's support or opposition to the idea.
