+        This modifier makes simple <code>(xyz)</code> groups non-capturing.
+        Only named groups like <code>(?&lt;name&gt;xyz)</code> are capturing.
+        This only affects which groups are capturing, it is still possible to
+        use numbered subpattern references, and the matches array will still
+        contain numbered results.
