Is it possible in a language grammar to create a pattern that is based
on another pattern? I know that you can create a pattern which matches
some text and inserts another pattern in a capture group. But I would
like to reuse the actual regular expression from another pattern.
It's a bit hard to explain but the equivalent in Ruby would look
something like this:
identifier = /\w+/
mod = /module #{identifier};/
The point here is to avoid duplicating the "identifier" pattern in the
"mod" pattern.
