For internal use (in regex_internal.h), I initially started with the
name re_idx_t as you suggested. But this caused a lot of code
reindenting, since I had to replace "int" by "re_idx_t" in a lot of
places. Also, the code got more verbose. Using "Idx" instead of "re_idx_t"
solved that problem.
However, if the consensus is to call it re_idx_t I'd be happy to
produce a new patch that uses the name.
I should mention that this type name is not visible to the user in the
proposed patch. I was reluctant to introduce the name re_idx_t into
regex.h, because I thought that the user should see just the new
interface, which uses size_t for sizes and offset. However, if you'd
prefer to make re_idx_t public I can also do that easily.
