The way I parse local commands is based upon Cookie's regular expression but instead of using the global RegExp object to retrieve the data, I use the result from exec() itself. It's better to use your local data rather than having to rely on global side effects. 
It's not 'better' though (it isn't worse either for that matter). There is nothing wrong with using the global RegExp object as long as both functions (exec and the resulting global RegExp object) are used right after eachother. But if they are not used right after eachother, then yes, you have a very good point. But also, it is also not a 'side effect' though; the $1 identifiers are meant to be used like that.
But, this is just semantics I guess and what you prefer....
On topic, nice to see some advanced 'toying' (if I may use that word) with the scripting engine to create such a library and create such possebilities. But although I'm sure one could come up with an exotic use or examples for it, I must say, I can't see any real use of it in practice, certainly not for the average script and scripter, but also not for the more advanced scripts. But this said, again, great work
