We do not have this much overlap in any other library w.r.t. features and interface.
What about Regex and Xpressive? I know neither of these libraries well, but doesn't Xpressive offer what Regex offers and more?
I would not say so. Xpressive's static regexes are "odd". It's hard enough to master regular expression -- mastering a new, C++-specific DSL for regexes is just brain damage. And its dynamic regexes are (based solely on comparing the documentation and my use of Regex) not as featureful as those in Regex.
