It won't work because no subpatterns are defined inside the %UCFIRST
macro. You have to set the subpattern, do the match and then access
the subpattern *inside* the %UCFIRST="" quotes. The way to think of
it is: the argument to any macro is like a mini-template[1]. These
mini-templates are almost completely independent of any other
template, including the main template.
This is useful when you want a regexp within a regexp, or if you have
more than one regexp in a given template. Now a solution would be to
have a macro to define and access global variables.
[1] - This analogy does break down in certain cases. But for the
macro in question, it is a reasonable simile.
