Well - \0 for all matching groups just seemed to be more logical to me. (again
remember that this is for the replace-box, not for the search). We already have
a common character to match the whole string (&) - so having one for all groups
seemed logical (simply \0 instead of writing \1\2\3\4)

Also note that many of the other regex implementations cannot use \0 since that
is often used to specify a character by its octal code - but OOo uses hex values
instead (\x) - so this wouldn't collide.

All in all I don't have a strong opiontion about it. If you decide to make \0
behave like &, I won't complain....

But keep the &. Even if it would not be common in regex (it is very common), it
still would be an expression that used to be available in OOo (and its
predecessor) for years. Removing it would be a regression.
