Ah. Okay, I see why that worked now. $1, $2 et al are scoped to the
current block, so in this case you are right. If you were to do two
pattern matches within the same block, though, you would see the
behavior I described.
I learn something new every day, I figured it was the match operator
"resetting" the $1...$N vars and not scoping.
