So I guess I'd like to find out if anyone knows the reasoning behind this.  I think ideally if an action class can over ride match, this should be allowed for all types of actions.  Or I am just not smart enough to know why not :)

Because nobody's implemented match_captures yet which Chained and Regex could
then both call. Should be pretty easy if you fancy a go.
