Hi,
I have been using ORO for some time and have encountered a problem. I 
need to give names to Subgroups (Instead of (or in addition to) the 
numbering that is done automatically). Is there a way to do something like

    (?<Day>\d{2})/(?<Month>\d{2})/(?<Year>\d{4})

 which should produce  3 named subgroups  (Day, Month, Year)  and access 
them in java like

       match.getGroup("Day")


Is a feature like this already implemented in ORO and I am missing it, 
or is it planned for the near future? This would greatly ease my task. TIA
