  confusingly called pcre3 in Debian.

+ Unlike the previous version of PCRE, there is no C++ library included
+ with PCRE2. Users who wish to avoid porting their C++ code to use the
+ PCRE2 C API might want to consider the libre2-dev package in Debian
+ which attempts to provide a similar C++ API to that provided by

  This package contains the development files, including headers,
  static libraries, and documentation.
