Not exactly DWIM, but how about:

Assuming $+ means 'the last capture group matched' as it does now.
Or just:

BTW, that doesn't actually *do* the match. It
The ° character doesn't have any special meaning,
that's why I choosed it in the above example.
However, it also symbolizes a little capturing
and as it isn't filled,
it could really symbolize an uncapturing.
Interesting idea. I'm not sure if I agree with it yet. However, I don't
agree

Don't forget you can parameterize rules with subrules. I don't see
any reason you couldn't write a
pick (.*?) | (\S+)
kind of rule and do whatever you like with the submatched bits.

Is $zilch C0 or 8?
8? How do you get 8? You'd get a result object which stringified was 0
and booleanfied was true. So here, you'd get a result object vaguely

couldn't that be reduced to:

the | will only return one of the grabbed chunks and the result of
the [] group would be assigned to $stuff.

I just wrote this code in Perl5:
$stuff = (defined($1)?$1:$2) if /^\s*(?:(.*?)|(\S+))/;
This is a common practice for me when I parse configuration and data
files whose formats I define. It's nice to be able to quote fields that
have spaces, and this is an easy way to parse the result.
