Well, these constructs are experimental. Their behaviour is possibly subject to change in 5.10. Recently Abigail-II posted a doc change patch to p5p to have them no longer marked so, and the 5.10 pumpking rejected it on the grounds that it was one of his intentions to sort out a number of issues related to these constructs and that he couldnt guarantee that their behaviou would be unchanged by doing so. So, use the constructs if you wish, but be aware that you are using beta quality code. PS, im guessing Hugo will try Real Hard to keep them as close to their current behaviour as possible, but given one of his major objectives of 5.10 is massive improvements to the regex engine its anyones guess what will happen. Hugo, if you're reading this, good luck mate. :-)
