address@hidden \(address@hidden: @dots{} \)
+is the @dfn{explicitly numbered group} construct.  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.
+Implicitly numbered groups always get the smallest integer larger than
+the one of any previous group.

 @item address@hidden
 matches the same text that matched the @var{digit}th occurrence of a
 grouping (@samp{\( @dots{} \)}) construct.
