[boost] [regex] nested negated character classes

From: Eric Niebler (eric_at_[hidden])

The following trivial pattern:

     boost::regex pat("[\\D]");

throws an "Invalid or trailing backslash" exception. This is in 
violation of the ECMAScript (ECMA-262) specification, section 15.10.1, 
which means Boost.Regex does not satisfy TR1. Known problem? Any 
intention to fix this?
