Normal groups get their number implicitly, based on their position, which can be inconvenient. This construct allows you to force a particular group number. There is no particular restriction on the numbering, -e.g.@: you can have several groups with the same number. +e.g.@: you can have several groups with the same number in which case +the last one to match (i.e.@: the rightmost match) will win. Implicitly numbered groups always get the smallest integer larger than the one of any previous group.
