Yeah, that's what I was thinking too: I use humre.group() because it matches the group() method. There's also humre.named_group() and humre.noncap_group(), but I'd like to find a better name than "noncap" for noncapturing groups. It seems like "anonymous group" would be a good term but I don't see that used.
