> ExtractText currently captures and creates attributes using numeric indices (e.g, attribute.name.0, attribute.name.1, etc.) whether or not the capture groups are named, i.e., patterns like (?<name>\w+).
> In addition to being more faithful to the provided regexes, named captures could help simplify data flows because you wouldn't have to add superfluous UpdateAttribute steps which are just renaming the indexed captures to more interpretable names.
