Apparently it's possible to assign to capture variables to change what the 
resultant Match will have.

The first question: is this actually something specced and supported? 
Especially the fact that further captures continue their numbering from the 
capture we wrote into:

    m: say "hi hi ho" ~~ /(\w+) \s+ $10=[$0] \s+ (\w+)/
    rakudo-moar 476741: OUTPUT: «「hi hi ho」␤ 0 => 「hi」␤ 10 => 「hi」␤ 11 => 「ho」␤»


If it's not, it needs to be plugged up. And if it is, then it has this is the 
bug with overflow:

    m: say "hi" ~~ / 
$10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000=(\w) (.)/
    rakudo-moar 476741: OUTPUT: «「hi」␤ -6917529027641081856 => 「h」␤ 0 => 「i」␤»
