> ExtractText currently captures and creates attributes using numeric indices 
> (e.g, attribute.name.0, attribute.name.1, etc.) whether or not the capture 
> groups are named, i.e., patterns like (?<name>\w+).
> In addition to being more faithful to the provided regexes, named captures 
> could help simplify data flows because you wouldn't have to add superfluous 
> UpdateAttribute steps which are just renaming the indexed captures to more 
> interpretable names.
