When extracting a field using a regex, what does the P argument do (the P character between the question mark and the field name)?  I have seen examples with and without this argument, but I don't see any obvious difference in the results.  For example:  
(?i) Finished (?P .+)  
versus  
(?i) Finished (? .+)   
 I looked in the Splunk manual and on the Answers site but couldn't find any description of this argument.  Apologies if I'm missing something obvious.
