For my approach it's much easier to construct more complicated regexes like
/pre(§FOO§|§BAR§)post/
In this rather simple example FOO and BAR are $2 and $3!
I think the idea of the OP is to use regexes as rules and to efficiently check which rules apply.
My initial approach would be to further investigate the matched string for each rule.
But the named match approach has many benefitsecause I will in any way need to have a hash holding the rules.

experimental feature! :(
