Defect Report: Inconsistent definition of basic_regex constructor

[Bo Persson]

Section 28.8 [re.regex] lists a constructor

template<class InputIterator>
basic_regex(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
flag_type f = regex_constants::ECMAScript);

However, in section 28.8.2/15 [re.regex.construct], this constructor takes a
pair of ForwardIterator.

Proposed resolution:

One of

1) If an InputIterator is sufficient to construct a basic_regex, change
[re.regex.construct] to show that.

2) Otherwise change [re.regex] to require a ForwardIterator.
