in thread Array of ($1, $2, ...) in replacement part of s///?

This just might be the excuse I was looking for to use the (?{}) construct and friends. But I notice that perlre says...
WARNING: This extended regular expression feature is considered highly experimental, and may be changed or deleted without notice.
But there is nary a word about this experimentalism in my 3rd edition Camel. Anyone care to take a guess about its life expectancy? (5.10?, ponie?, 6.0?)

    There may (should) be change in how those constructs interact with lexicals in the code. Otherwise, they aren't going away in any version of perl5.
