  SC> Yes, but it's nice to be able to access the captured things by

  SC> rule raiddev { <comment>*
  SC>                <sp>* "raiddev" <sp>+ <name> <comm_eol>

are the quotes there literals? they aren't in the file format i think.

  SC>                 (<devicelayout> | <option> | <comment>)+ };

  SC> rule name { /dev/md\d+ }

yeah, that should grab name in the match object as a hash element of the
raiddev level. or maybe it needs grab markers somewhere? i am not sure
it should be (<name>) in the raiddev rule or (/dev/md\d+) in the name
rule. both could work but give different places where the grab ends up.
