Re: Capture columns nummers of matches ending with double byte chars

Searchpos() doesn't return the right end value of a match if the match end with a double byte character (èéòìùá...). (encoding utf-8)
Isn't this a bug????

Would it be possible to add a feature in Vim like finditer in Python?
Searchpos() searches the entire file till stopline.
finditer returns all startvalues, endvalues and matches of a search in a string (or line).
This would be great!

From Python website:
re.finditer(pattern, string[, flags])

Return an iterator yielding MatchObject instances over all non-overlapping matches for the RE pattern in string. The string is scanned left-to-right, and matches are returned in the order found. Empty matches are included in the result unless they touch the beginning of another match.

>>> text = "He was carefully disguised but captured quickly by police."
>>> for m in re.finditer(r"\w+ly", text):
... print('%02d-%02d: %s' % (m.start(), m.end(), m.group(0)))
07-16: carefully
40-47: quickly
