std::basic_regex defines several constants that govern general regex matching syntax.

These constants are duplicated from std::regex_constants:

Value	Effect(s)
`icase`	Character matching should be performed without regard to case.
`nosubs`	When performing matches, all marked sub-expressions `(expr)` are treated as non-marking sub-expressions `(?:expr)`. No matches are stored in the supplied `std::regex_match` structure and `mark_count()` is zero
`optimize`	Instructs the regular expression engine to make matching faster, with the potential cost of making construction slower. For example, this might mean converting a non-deterministic FSA to a deterministic FSA.
`collate`	Character ranges of the form "[a-b]" will be locale sensitive.
`ECMAScript`	Use the Modified ECMAScript regular expression grammar
`basic`	Use the basic POSIX regular expression grammar (grammar documentation).
`extended`	Use the extended POSIX regular expression grammar (grammar documentation).
`awk`	Use the regular expression grammar used by the awk utility in POSIX (grammar documentation)
`grep`	Use the regular expression grammar used by the grep utility in POSIX. This is effectively the same as the `basic` option with the addition of newline '\n' as an alternation separator.
`egrep`	Use the regular expression grammar used by the grep utility, with the -E option, in POSIX. This is effectively the same as the `extended` option with the addition of newline '\n' as an alternation separator in addtion to '\|'.

At most one grammar option must be chosen out of ECMAScript, basic, extended, awk, grep, egrep. If no grammar is chosen, ECMAScript is assumed to be selected. The other options serve as modifiers, such that std::regex("meow", std::regex::icase) is equivalent to std::regex("meow", std::regex::ECMAScript|std::regex::icase).
