Include substitution in Match Information

Currently, there is only one option controlling what results are displayed on the Match Information Panel:

• Include non-participating groups in the match result

Feature Request

• Add a new setting Include substitution in Match Information for the user controlling the behavior.
• When enabled include each substitution below the Match/Group information if the user typed a substitution expression.

Example

Given the match expression:

Regular Expression	([^-\n]+)\s+-\s+([^\n]+)(.mp3)
Test String	I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2.mp3
Substitution	$3 - $1.mp3
Engine	Java

Current Match Information:

Match 1	0-51	I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2.mp3
Group 1	0-42	I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Group 2	45-47	U2

Improved Match Information:

Match 1	0-51	I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2.mp3
Group 1	0-42	I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Group 2	45-47	U2
Substituion		U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.mp3

The output of the substitution is shown in the substitution box. This is a separate action, and unrelated to the match box above. The substitution runs on the entire string and spits out a new string, there isn't really a notion of matches per se.
