A bunch of discussion then followed, and several patches, but it seemed
like many people just thought that this didn't seem generally useful
enough... and I agree. Gathering regexp matches from a buffer is a
three-liner, and chopping out parts of that is easy enough with seq-take
and friends, so adding separate functionality for this just doesn't seem
warranted, in my opinion.
So I'm closing this bug report.
