Yeah, we can just drop that I guess. I'm slightly worried that we might
need it again after some future refactoring; but it's not really worth
devising a re-worded comment to justify keeping it.
Also, I realized that I failed in my reviewerly duty by not noticing
that you'd forgotten to pg_regfree the regex after successful
compilation. Running something like this exposes the memory leak
very quickly:
select pg_input_is_valid('$ ? (@ like_regex "pattern" flag "smixq")', 'jsonpath')
from generate_series(1,10000000);
The attached delta patch takes care of it. (Per comment at pg_regcomp,
we don't need this after a failure return.)
