It's quite the opposite IMO. "safe" can mean many things, whereas
"nodata" clearly indicates that it doesn't set (or modify) match-data.
Just "data" doesn't clearly refer to the match data.
What this function would do is avoid side effects.
What other names do people use to mean "without side effects"?
Again, I like the inhibit- name, as other similar variables use the same
The name `inhibit-match-data' doesn't fit with a feature that inhibit
_setting_ the match data. Other variables called `inhibit-...'
followed by a the name of some data inhibit the data from being obeyed
or acted on. It doesn't seem right to use a similar name to prevent
setting the data.
