         * For negative ℕ, groups are counted backwards relative to the last group, so that `\g{-1}` is the last matched group, and `\g{-2}` is the next-to-last matched group.

             * Please, note the difference between absolute and relative backreferences. For instance, an exact four-letters word palindrome can be matched with :
 
                 * the regex `(?-i)\b(\w)(\w)\g{2}\g{1}\b`, when using absolute (positive) coordinates
 
                 * the regex `(?-i)\b(\w)(\w)\g{-1}\g{-2}\b`, when using relative (negative) coordinates
 
+        * `\g` and `\k` are functionally synonymous prefixes for _extended backreferences._ There is no semantic difference in Boost's implementation. They coexist for syntax-compatibility/historical reasons.

(As with the Numbered Backreferences above, these Named Backreferences are used to refer to the capture group contents only in the search/match expression; see the [Substitution Escape Sequences](#substitution-escape-sequences) for how to refer to capture groups in substitutions/replacements.)
