Call it NonGreedyOption and I think that should be enabled.

UseUnicodePropertiesOption: can we reduce the size of the library in certain 
scenarios if we don't have this option?

DontCaptureOption: is this a memory saving mechanism? What else does it do, 
besides making the capture groups return empty or invalid? If it's just a 
memory saving option, I'd say let it in.

MatchFirstLineOnlyOption and DollarMatchesOnlyAtEndOption: I can't tell from 
the name only. How do they interact with the MultilineOption? My guess is to 
leave them out for now. We can always introduce them later.
