Summary: Add support of special escapes for matching
sub-expressions in 'Replace with' at Search&Replace
windows
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: UsabilityInitiative

The RegExp engine of JavaScript supports substitution of matching
sub-expressions given in parentheses. And Search&Replace interface supports
sub-expressions in 'Search for' field as well. But the 'Replace with' field
doesn't support any escape sequences to substitute matching sub-expressions
back to the resulting output. Those are %1,%2 (like in JS), \1,\2 (like in
sed), etc.
Implementing escape sequences for this stuff would be great.
