Actually, much churning is still going on in both @Larry and $Larry, and the final form of the solution is unlikely to involve hyphenated names. There has to be some way of serially getting at everything that matched anyway, and picking up multiple names is probably just a particular kind of selection syntax. The hash and array subscripts are just other shortcuts through that same general selector. But my formulations up till now have tended to destroy the serialization of the matches unless you already know what your rules say. And that's not good, since it ought to be possible traverse a syntax tree generated by a rule-set you aren't familiar with. Larry
