Larry decreed:
Let's go 0-based and make $0 =:= $/[0] so that $/[] is all the parens.
Huzzah!
Our old $0 (P5's $&) could be $<> instead, short for $<MATCH> or some such.
According to the new capture semantics document posted earlier this week:
A successful match returns a C<Match> object whose ...
string value is the complete substring that was matched
by the entire rule...So the old $0 is just ~$/
