The problem is, the function syntax is not parsed in a recursive manner, and
embedding a function as the parameter to another function is not possible right
now.
However, if you grab the latest code from CVS, you can use the new regex
Extractor, which will work as you desire (I just verified being able to do exactly
what
you described below).
And, FYI, functions are multi-thread aware, and would keep values separate on a
per thread basis.
