There is an ambiguity here:
// What does this do?
sregex rx = '$';
You may have meant:
// Zero-width match at the end of the line
sregex rx = sregex::compile("$");
Or you may have meant:
// Match a literal '$' character
sregex rx = as_xpr('$');
Rather than guess what you mean, it's now an error and you have to say
which. I simply forgot I made this change, which is why it's not in the
release notes.
