A few adjustments since last time, with documentation.

No reset of the special variables is done on a match failure.
    

Er, I can't remember what Phil said (I haven't been following this in any
detail), but the documentation now says variables aren't altered on a
failure, so presumably that is now incorrect.  I don't think this is
crucial as long as it's documented correctly.

Could you in any case send a documentation patch against the current source
and with lines wrapped to 80 columns?

Thanks.

  
No, I ended up keeping the original behavior:  On match failure, none of the special variables are modified (reset).

Here is the updated doc patch.

Please let me know if anything I added isn't clear enough.  Thanks.
