I think we should make it so that they have corresponding semantics.
Ideally, without variable binding, Phillip's macro should be eqivalent
to calling rx on the pattern args and then calling Stefan's version.  On
top of that, both should add variables and back-references in the same
way.  It would be very confusing to add the same thing twice with only
very subtle differences (modulo regexp syntax used).
