Feature Request: Allow capturing of alternative text

Summary

It would be nice if Cucumber Expressions could capture the alternative text from the feature file and use it as a parameter as we were able to with regex:

Ex. @And("^I set the (current|comparison) date range to \"([^\"]*)\" through \"([^\"]*)\"$")

vs.

@And("I set the (current/comparison) date range to {string} through {string}")

Expected Behavior

Cucumber users are able to capture alternate text as a parameter to the step definition method.

Current Behavior

Unable to do this currently

Possible Solution

Allow for something like (choice1/choice2) which would capture that word in that position without quotes around it and pass it as an argument.

Context & Motivation

Updating from cuke 1 to cuke 4 (our stuff is old) and I hit a roadblock here. My current solution is to make an enum and pass that down instead, but this could be nice for more than just my team.

@ddaypunk06 have you considered defining a parameter type for this? I set the {date-range-type} date range to {string} through {string}

Example, rather sparse because of phone:

@And("I set the current date range to {string} through {string}")
...
    setDateRange(CURRENT, from, to);
....

@And("I set the comparison date range to {string} through {string}")
...
    setDateRange(COMPARISON, from, to);
...
