Replace and named capturing group example

Nearly all modern regular expression engines support numbered capturing groups and numbered backreferences. Long regular expressions with lots of groups and backreferences may be hard to read. They can be particularly difficult to maintain as adding or removing a capturing group in the middle of the regex upsets the numbers of all the groups that follow the added or removed group.
