Very nice Stephen, thank you a lot. You may have noticed that your 
(similar?) work on tr1/random really helped and we have now a rather 
complete implementation of those specifications. I'm sure we'll do the 
same for regex.

I want to take the occasion to ask everyone, and Ed in particular, my 
excuses for not being extremely helpful about the special functions 
work: I have a couple of pressing deadlines and other ongoing work on 
the library and really could not do much more during the last weeks, 
besides testing and providing a little of advice. In case Ed has 
troubles finishing up the work as discussed (many facilities are very 
close to be ready for the first commit, anyway), I will be certainly 
able to help more in a week or so.

Paolo.
