This PR implements the other component of regex matching defining global variables. In Ruby,
$1
,$2
, etc. correspond to the group matched in the last match. This is synonymous to how aMatchData
object could refer to these matches.This PR models these
nref
objects to$[1]
and, during a match lowering, defines them to the corresponding index position of the lowered temp match object, i.e.,$[1] = <tmp-0>[1]
whereN
is determined by the number of opening parenthesis (simple heuristic).Additionally, the lowered
match
calls have theirmethodFullName
defined for convenient policy/semantic definition creation.
