It's been nearly a year since I first announced my intention to build a new regular expression engine. It has finally reached a point where I am comfortable recommending it for general use.

Looks great! A few questions. (Please forgive me if they are answered in the docs, I haven't finished reading them): - Have you considered allowing format strings to be bound statically? - Have you considered using _1, _2, _3 instead of s1, ... for capturing paretheses? You could also use them as placeholders in statically-bound format strings. - have you considered overloading operator/ to emulate perl syntax for substitution. E.g., s/expr/fmt, sub/expr/fmt, or just expr/fmt could return a function object with templated operator which invokes regex_replace. Just some thoughts .... Best Regards, Jonathan
