RFE#6878475 has been filed to trace this issue.
At this point we are going to update the doc and implementation to
(1)disallow the group name started with digit character
(2)use ${name} for the group reference in replacement string.
The \k<n> and ${n} can leave for further discussion (whether or not we
really
need this NEW feature, while there is existing syntax that can do the
job just fine).

I'd say ${name} is the best option here given that it will be familiar,
at least, to Perl and .NET developers.
It's also used for substitution in shell and Makefiles :)
That too!
