This is not needed – the function could use $MATCH directly.

I was assuming that adding such substitution would require parser
alteration, however it doesn't seem to:

% echo ${|foo;}
zsh: bad substitution

So the syntax correctly passes the parser and meets paramsubst() or
stringsubst(). So adding such substitution should be easy – just a
doshfunc(() followed by getstrvalue("REPLY"). If there are any
pitfalls in it then let me know it.
