Named regular expressions for file rename

I have certain files I rename the same way (regular downloads, mostly). It would be helpful if it were possible to attach a name to the regular expression I use for this, so that I can more easily find it again.

If you lookup regexreplace in the advanced topics\scripting commands section of the help file, you'll see that the first example demos the syntax required to attach comments/name to your pattern, and the same works in RegExp Rename..

Hi Balok,
have you also considered using a user script (User-defined Commands, UDC) for your recurring rename activities? Please see help file chapter 3.7 User (page 199 in current PDF file).
Best regards, Markus
Edit: name corrected, please excuse!
