// sub_match
//
/// \brief Class template sub_match denotes the sequence of characters matched by a particular marked sub-expression.
///
/// When the marked sub-expression denoted by an object of type sub_match\<\> participated in a
/// regular expression match then 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 contained undefined values.
///
/// If an object of type sub_match\<\> represents sub-expression 0 - that is to say the whole match -
/// then member matched is always true, unless a partial match was obtained as a result of the flag
/// match_partial being passed to a regular expression algorithm, in which case member matched is
/// false, and members first and second represent the character range that formed the partial match.
