backslash for numbered backreferences in regex

Is it possible to make Textcrawler accept \1 for $1 to make it more compatible with other regex implementations?

Maybe internally replacing \ with $ before a number, but not inside []-brackets....

At second thought, mixing up different regex dialects might be hard to implement in a fail-safe way, so maybe rather not...
