I just noticed that none of match, MATCH, mbegin, etc. are mentioned in
the doc section on "parameters set by the shell". Seems as though they
ought to be.
On a related topic, the prce_match info documentation says
pcre_match will set the array $MATCH to those substrings, unless
the -a option is given, in which case it will set the array ARR.
Now, that's not _really_ what it says. What the yodl source says is
tt(pcre_match) will set the array var($match) to those
substrings, unless the tt(-a) option is given, in which
case it will set the array var(arr).
The info renderer is all-caps-ing "var($match)" which is exceptionally
confusing. I don't think var() is the right macro there; maybe tt() ?
(The "var(arr)" on the other hand is correct.)
It's 2am here and I'm going to bed, but if no one else patches this first
I may get to it ... oh, late tomorrow? Or maybe in June, the way my days
have been going recently.
