Apparently it's possible to assign to capture variables to change what the
resultant Match will have.
The first question: is this actually something specced and supported?
Especially the fact that further captures continue their numbering from the
capture we wrote into:
m: say "hi hi ho" ~~ /(\w+) \s+ $10=[$0] \s+ (\w+)/
rakudo-moar 476741: OUTPUT: «｢hi hi ho｣ 0 => ｢hi｣ 10 => ｢hi｣ 11 => ｢ho｣»
If it's not, it needs to be plugged up. And if it is, then it has this is the
bug with overflow:
m: say "hi" ~~ /
$10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000=(\w) (.)/
rakudo-moar 476741: OUTPUT: «｢hi｣ -6917529027641081856 => ｢h｣ 0 => ｢i｣»
