Hello,

from what I read it seems that boost.regex supports ECMAScript style regular 
expression.
I already use a RE engine (that of Perl built inside wxWidgets), but i'm not 
really happy with it because it is not ECMA compliant and prevents me from 
searching in both UTF8 and wchar_t strings and it does not have iterator 
oriented searches.

So my questions:
- is boost.regex totally compliant with ECMAScript RE? or at least more than 
Perl engine? [1.33.1 vs. 1.34 ?]
- did I understand well that I can use iterators and have both UTF8 (char*) 
and wchar_t searches in the same executable build? (thanks to their template nature?)

Best regards
Armel
