[TRE-general] regoff_t and wide chars

[Gregory Sharp]

Hi, I'm trying to get wchar_t regular expressions working. 
Looking at the API defined on the web site:

The regmatch_t structure contains at least the following fields:

    regoff_t rm_so
        Byte offset from start of string to start of substring. 
    regoff_t rm_eo
        Byte offset from start of string to the first character
after the substring. 

Are the offsets really measured in bytes rather than number of 
wide characters?  If so, why?

Greg
