A language grammar question

#1

I used a trick way to match Sass functions in a new syntax highlighting package. But there is a little problem.

<key>function</key>
<dict>
	<key>beginCaptures</key>
	<dict>
		<key>1</key>
		<dict>
			<key>name</key>
			<string>keyword.other.round-brackets.sass</string>
		</dict>
	</dict>
	<key>match</key>
	<string>(?&lt;=\s|\(])[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+(\()</string>
	<key>name</key>
	<string>support.function.name.sass</string>
</dict>

Left side: TextMate, Right side: Sublime Text

As you can see, the left round bracket can be changed colour in TextMate, but not in Sublime Text.

I surmise that beginCaptures / endCaptures cannot work with match rule (they can work with begin/end rule). Is that a bug? Or I did something wrong?

Thanks
