 Sorry, I'm testing the correct handling of allocation failures currently.

 STL streams have the annoying property, that they do not throw exceptions
 on allocation failures (std::bad_alloc). This can be changed by calling
 basic_stringstream::exceptions(std::ios::badbit).
 This is not done in cpp_regex_traits.hpp line 565, causing, in my case, a
 unrelated exception (invalid quantifier).

 See also #8966 for the same thing in lexical_cast.
