>Two new special variables, @^g and @^G control which strings are
>considered grouping characters and what their complement is.
What about the meaning that \G already holds?
Wasn't one going to avoid using any more cryptic variables?
You can't use $^g for a variable name, because you're pretending
it's different than $^G. But notice that you can't use a lower
case letter there.
