There's a third easy possibility, but Ze'ev seems to want a permanent
LE environment as well, which makes things much more difficult for all
three.

That by itself doesn't allow for named captures, although a variation
of it would.

More precisely, you would need to design a syntax that is easy to use
and easy to parse. But you need to do that for all three approaches.

A third way is for the wrapper to be a REXX-aware procedure.
