Just saying that makes my point.

	^0 and $0
	^1 and $1

The ordinal concept onto the arguments matches much better. There
is already a break between
	@foo = /(..) (..) ... /

and	$foo[0] and $1, ..., $foo[n] and $n

I and several other folks made our point. We see this more akin
in nomenclature and appearance to the regexp matches, then to
a invisible offset into an array.

All I ask is the Damian add our comments to the RFC.
