Feature request: non-dropping regmatches/strextract
if you want "to extract regex matches into a new column in a data.frame"
then there are some package functions which do exactly that. three examples
are namedCapture::df_match_variable, rematch2::bind_re_match, and
tidyr::extract. For a more detailed discussion see my R journal submission
(under review) about regular expression packages,
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tdhock/namedCapture-article/master/RJwrapper.pdf
Comments/suggestions welcome.

A very common use case for regmatches is to extract regex matches into a new column in a data.frame (or data.table, etc.) or otherwise use the extracted strings alongside the input. However, the default behavior is to drop empty matches, which results in mismatches in column length if reassignment is done without subsetting.
For consistency with other R functions and compatibility with this use
