Editorial: Change the _index_<sup>th</sup> element of _captures_
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
... to `_captures_[_index_ - 1]` in `GetSubstitution`.

Also, in `RegExp.prototype [ @@replace ]`
(the only place that passes a non-empty `_captures_` to `GetSubstitution`),
add a NOTE to underline the fact that
`_captures_[_n_ - 1]` is the `_n_`th capture.
