They're inextricably linked, not cross-referenced at all,
and not used anywhere else.
Now that they (realistically) exist to the reader, add a note
on how big nmatch can be; POSIX even says "The application developer
should note that there is probably no reason for using a value of
nmatch that is larger than preg−>re_nsub+1.".
Also remove the now-duplicate regmatch_t declaration.
