This is essentially testing the `@implSpec`. The typical way to do that is to have the test create its own MatchResult implementation(s). There might need to be implementations that do and do not implement `namedGroups`, in order to test UOE. They might also need some state to cover various cases of no-match, has-match with and without group names, etc.

An implementation that overrides `namedGroups` without overriding the other methods accepting group names is `Matcher$ImmutableMatchResult`, which is already exercised in the tests.

Not sure who wants to take another look. If that it's you, then I'll wait with the CSR.
I'll change the method names to something a bit more speaking.
