Subject: translate Perl named captures for RE2
It'd be really nice to simply translate (?<name>regex) into (? P<name>regex) for RE2 to minimize the syntactic differences. This would allow more graceful fallback to the Perl engine.

I see you opened a ticket against RE2 about this -- I'd prefer if RE2 itself would support this. Trying to translate in front of RE2 would mean writing a mini-regexp parser which I'd rather not do.
