 ## Not-Yet-Supported syntax
 
 I plan to add the following features to the gem (in order of most -> least likely), but have not yet got round to it:
 
-* Non-capture groups, e.g. `/(?:foo)/`
-* Named capture groups, e.g. `(?<name>bar)/`
 * Throw exceptions if illegal syntax (see below) is used
 * POSIX bracket expressions, e.g. `/[[:alnum:]]/`, `/[[:space:]]/`
 * Options, e.g. `/pattern/i`, `/foo.*bar/m`
