   * @brief The results of a match or search operation.
   *
   * A collection of character sequences representing the result of a regular
   * expression match.  Storage for the collection is allocated and freed as
   * necessary by the member functions of class template match_results.
   *
   * This class satisfies the Sequence requirements, with the exception that
   * only the operations defined for a const-qualified Sequence are supported.
   *
   * The sub_match object stored at index 0 represents sub-expression 0, i.e.
   * the whole match. In this case the sub_match member matched is always true.
   * The sub_match object stored at index n denotes what matched the marked
   * sub-expression n within the matched expression. If the sub-expression n
   * participated in a regular expression match then the sub_match member
   * matched evaluates to true, and members first and second denote the range
   * of characters [first, second) which formed that match. Otherwise matched
   * is false, and members first and second point to the end of the sequence
   * that was searched.
