      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      In C# and Python, capture groups can be named using strings (as described at http://www.regular-expressions.info/named.html). Java regular expressions should support this.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      Such a modification would fit well with Java's object-oriented nature, making regular expressions more like fields of a class.
