Does numbering of captures after an alternation continue as if the
alternative with the most captures matched?
# $1 $1 $2 $3, even if (a) matched
rx/ [ (a) | (b) (c) ] (d) /;
If you explicitly number the first capture in one alternative, does that
affect the numbering of the other alternatives?
# $4 $4
rx/ [ $4:=(a) | (b) ] /;

Is @/ also a shorthand for @{$/} ?
