in thread search, replace and backrefrences

I was about to say murky, but unimportant but bit my tongue
as everything is important to someone.

It seems unclear what behavior is intended, i.e. murky.
Why shouldn't I be able to my $99;?   I haven't seen anything to
suggest it is illegal. Or why is $123456 read-only?

Is this documented somewhere? Point me at it.

I'm pretty sure I got that from the Camel book.
