Matthew Barnett added the comment:

There needed to be a way of referring to named groups in the replacement 
template. The existing form \groupnumber clearly wouldn't work. Other regex 
implementations, such as Perl, do have \g and also \k (for named groups).

In my implementation I added support for \g in regex strings.
