in reply to How do you say %+ in English?

You're not missing anything, there's no English name for that.

We had that discussion in the CB the other day, and somebody (of course I forgot who) wanted to prepare a patch for that, but I don't know if it made its way to p5p yet.

Update: please ignore, ikegami proved me wrong. It's just missing in the documentation

Second update: patched documentation, Rafael applied it - so it should be documented in future versions of perl.

    Thank you and ikegami for the replies. It's not clear, did Rafael document LAST_PAREN_MATCH or will there be a more appropriate name? As the whole point of this exercise is to help in maintenance, I would rather stick with %+ then use something which will change in my next update of Perl.

      They kept the name

      An alternative was suggested almost a year ago, but no action was taken.
