Comment:

 (In [50374]) Empty expressions, and empty alternatives are now
 allowed when using the Perl regular expression syntax.  This change has
 been added for Perl compatibility, when the new [syntax_option_type]
 ['no_empty_expressions] is set then the old behaviour is preserved and
 empty expressions are prohibited.  This is issue
 [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1081 #1081].

 Fixes #1081.
