That's completely STL-friendly: there are iterators. When using STL-style algorithms, one must determine the applicable range. For many uses, I'll grant that you'd want to skip the first element, but that hardly constitutes being unfriendly to the STL.
Making something like:
std::copy( pieces.begin(), pieces.end(), destination );
completely useless isn't unfriendly?
<snip> I can see this is something you feel strongly about. If change is what you're after, you should send a Defect Report to comp.std.c++. This is not an area where I think it makes sense for xpressive to differ from TR1 regex. If the interface is changed for TR1, xpressive will follow suit. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
