    Not _within_ a Lisp expression, namely something like
    \,(format "%d %d" \#& \#2).  And if you had a match like
    \([0-9]+\), then you can do arithmetic on it with something like
    \,(1+ \#1).

I have a general idea now, but, what's the difference in meaning
between \#& and \&?  Between \#N and \N?
