While the documentation for this topic is excellent, the one thing missing, I believe, is that the term "Captures" is never defined. I believe a brief single line at the very top of the topic defining the term would be judicious.
How about: "Captures, are the iterator ranges that are "captured" by marked sub-expressions as a regular expression gets matched. Each marked sub-expression can result in more than one capture, if it is matched more than once. This document explains how captures and marked sub-expressions in Boost.Regex are represented and accessed." John.
