When a matcher is preceded by an exclamation mark (!), the matcher will

Currently there is a limitation: you can\[aq]t use both \f[CR]&\f[R] and

.SS Match groups
Matchers can define match groups: parenthesised portions of the regular
expression which are available for reference in field assignments.
