The only thing that occurs to me is (?<NAME>) (note lack of > pattern) but this seems like it might be error-prone. As just mentioned on list, using anything that resembles valid regexp operations or meta characters doesn't make much sense to me. It's a recipe for confusion and errors. > Note that this might need some of the same sort of ordering you did for > metas. Consider a capturing rule that includes a named variable usage from > some other rule. There's also the pathological case of a rule with a > capturing pattern that uses the captured value later in the same rule. Already addressed this in first post. Anything more fancy than people adjusting the rule priorities manually will be left for someone else to do. I already went through the rabbit hole of the dynamic meta evaluation. If we just get this basic functionaly to satisfactory status, it will already help to migrate lots of stuff to rules that required a plugin before. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
