[MacRuby-devel] Is there a workaround for regex named capture groups not being supported?

I now I can't use re2 because it is a C based gem, but is there any way to support named capture groups in MacRuby? It is a pretty necessary component of my project, and not having it is forcing me to look for solutions like running my gem as a service, or compiling it using Rubinius. I'd rather there was a workaround! :) Thanks, Jeremy
