Please could we add a comment here to indicate that the Python code is diverging from the upstream code.

I'm not normally keen on the Python port having divergences from the upstream Java code, but this looks useful and the default value for the argument means that it's back-compatible with any existing client use.
Please could you add some unit tests for it, and mark them as Python-specific?

On some large and "bad" inputs, like whole HTML page, the regex produces a lot of matches that are just one or two digits, which then just get filtered out.
For my particular use-case, when I set the minimum to 4 digits (I don't care about special short numbers), I get about 50% speed-up on that particular input.
