At this point, it seems quite likely that the new syntax will be
identical to Perl named match variables $+{name} (if I am not mistaken,
Perl supports them since version 5.10). The most reasonable way for
supporting these variables would be to: 1) first set them according to
named matches of regular expression, 2) then use the 'assignment',
'transform', or 'map' keyword to assign $1 variables to named variables
explicitly. Step 2 would allow for named variables even for earlier
versions of Perl and non-regexp patterns.
I can't promise to release this stuff within a couple of days, though.
I've also plans to implement a new, more generic rule type for capturing
unordered event sets. This would provide a solution for some problem
statements that have appeared in this mailing list quite recently.
kind regards,
risto
