Milestone:  Boost 1.43.0                                |   Component:  regex      
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk                     |    Severity:  Problem    
 Keywords:                                              |  
--------------------------------------------------------+-------------------
 The documentation for {{{match_results::length}}} and
 {{{match_results::position}}} both say:

 ''The overloads that accept a string refer to a named sub-expression n. In
 the event that there is no such named sub-expression then returns an empty
 string. ''

 Those functions return {{{difference_type}}} not a string
