I am wrapping some classes in our existing application, which have the 
interface that a regular expression will be replaced exactly with the given 
string, so I have no influence to the input and I don't know what things are in 
this string, what was given to me. So my hope was, that I can force this 
behaviour with some flags, but what I see from your answer it will not exist. 
So can you give me a hint where the best location is, where I can 
implement "format_literal" for my personal boost library? I need this 
functionality!
