add link for non-zero-handling PCRE2 version; I think I got the size wrong as being 5 bytes less (I think it was only 3 bytes less), but here's one that's 4 bytes less

| Apr 14, 2023 at 20:33 | comment | added | Deadcode | @Bbrk24 The reason I use emojis for those output methods is to differentiate them from output via the length of a string. Depending on the challenge, it can be a very different, or sometimes even impossible, to output via the length of a string instead of the count of something. Trivially it's impossible to output a number larger than the input without using a counting-style output, but also there are ones like totient function in ECMAScript where it's much more complicated and interesting to output via string length than some type of count. | |

@Bbrk24 Except for rabbit, they're animals documented to be able to count. Bee π is output via number of matches, because counting that is fairly lightweight to implement in most languages (bees are small). Elephant π is output via capture count, because that is in a way kind of overkill (elephants are big), since in .NET a capture stack contains the contents of its captures, which is potentially much more information than just the number of captures. Rabbit π is output via number of ways it can match, because rabbits multiply (breed), and this output method is great at multiplying.

use elephant emoji to indicate output via capture count, as I've established since making this post (there are 4 more of these to do, but I'm spreading out the edits)
