You can do math in capture groups with PCRE regex

  @codingquark I actually like regex. I think the main thing that is missing is basic arithmetic. For example, I would like to be able to substitute a capture group for the result of `$1 + 1`

  These systems want to me to write regular expressions to search for files, content inside files. I know regex, and I know how complex they are. I HATE IT.
  Going to replace as many of these tools with better ways as possible.
  It is crazy.
