No, not attached. :)

Just wanted to write down a thought I had during the discussion
phase, about how someone might go about implementing it.

This might be more obvious to someone who hasn't been corrupted
by the p5 engine, but it is about what you do when you hit the
'success' state - the p5 engine throws away everything at that
point, because it no longer needs it. The p6 engine will often
want to preserve its state at that point, either because it is
in a subrule or because it is under a :any flag, so that it can
cope with continuation - either you backtracked through the
subrule or you asked for the next :any match - by backtracking
from that success state.

While I'm really looking forward to seeing A5 made manifest, I don't
currently have the mental or physical bandwidth to subscribe to the
p6 mailing lists; however I'd be more than happy to be cc'd on any
regex-related discussions.
