FWIW, I don't really have strong feelings either way, but I think
"string-match-no-data" is "clear enough" -- one can't expect function
names to essentially provide documentation.  It's enough that they be
easily recognizable to someone who's used them before, and provide a
good hint to those who haven't.

"string-match-no-data" satisfies those criteria well I think, and
"string-match-no-match-data" is just a little too long and
redundant-seeming.
