#12890: Misleading documentation for regex_replace

Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  Documentation
  Version:  Boost 1.63.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+---------------------------
 The documentation for regex_replace describes what the function does, but
 the description is incorrect.

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/ref/regex_replace.html


 On this line:

 > calls
 >> std::copy(m.prefix().first, m.prefix().last, out),

 the ".last" should be ".second", and "std::copy" is actually
 "re_detail::copy"

 And on this line:

 > calls
 >> std::copy(last_m.suffix().first, last_m,suffix().last, out)

 Same as above, and there is also a typo in "last_m,suffix().last" (comma
 instead of period).
