The %+ variable, which is new in 5.10 if i understand correctly,
doesn't have a proper alias for English.pm.

%LAST_PAREN_MATCH works, because it is defined in English.pm as an
alias for *+. But it's not an intuitive name and it wasn't intended
for this and it's not documented in perlvar.

Is there anyone who decides about the names of aliases in English.pm,
or can i just be bold, make up a name and send a patch? I thought that
%NAMED_CAPTURE would be appropriate.

This is my first message on this list, so if it's a stupid question or
the wrong list, feel free to bite me.
