Milestone:  To Be Determined       |  Component:  regex
  Version:  Boost 1.62.0           |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                         |
-----------------------------------+-------------------------
 I just noticed that in the list of special chars to be escaped, we have [
 but not ]:

 > In Perl regular expressions, all characters match themselves except for
 the following special characters:


 {{{
 .[{}()\*+?|^$
 }}}


 Does this make sense?
