PCRE2 no longer implements \w correctly #113

Description

@Aloso

The behavior of \w (and \b) changed: It now includes all code points in the N general category, not just Nd

See https://github.com/PCRE2Project/pcre2/blob/master/ChangeLog

What should we do? Should we polyfill it? This is unlikely to be a problem for many people.
