Within the rule, $1 and $2 should still refer to the previous match,
as in P5 rules they are spelled as \1 and \2. Of course, with P5 rules,
they would not be written as \0 and \1 simply because they are running
in Perl 6.
However, the subst part of s/// may look weird:
pugs> $_ = "foo foo"; s:P5/(\w+) \1/--$0--/; $_
'--foo--'
But it's probably unavoidable.
