That was a feature request. And that trick doesn't work for captures
beyond 1 without introducing nils or a massive performance hit.

Would the requested feature make `pat/-2` drop the second capture
or the first two captures?


The former (drop the second).

No. But you can have it so `pat / drop` does that.


function drop(x,...) return ... end

     So uh can I have it so `pat / -1` removes capture 1 from pat,
     while leaving all others untouched?
