/// \brief Build an output sequence given an input sequence, a regex, and a format string or
/// a formatter object, function, or expression.
///
/// Constructs a \c regex_iterator object: <tt>regex_iterator\< BidiIter \> i(begin, end, re, flags)</tt>,
/// and uses \c i to enumerate through all of the matches m of type <tt>match_results\< BidiIter \></tt> that
/// occur within the sequence <tt>[begin, end)</tt>. If no such matches are found and <tt>!(flags \& format_no_copy)</tt>
/// then calls <tt>std::copy(begin, end, out)</tt>. Otherwise, for each match found, if <tt>!(flags \& format_no_copy)</tt>
/// calls <tt>std::copy(m.prefix().first, m.prefix().second, out)</tt>, and then calls <tt>m.format(out, format, flags)</tt>.
/// Finally if <tt>!(flags \& format_no_copy)</tt> calls <tt>std::copy(last_m.suffix().first, last_m.suffix().second, out)</tt>
/// where \c last_m is a copy of the last match found.
///
/// If <tt>flags \& format_first_only</tt> is non-zero then only the first match found is replaced.
///
/// \pre Type \c BidiIter meets the requirements of a Bidirectional Iterator (24.1.4).
/// \pre Type \c OutIter meets the requirements of an Output Iterator (24.1.2).
/// \pre Type \c Formatter models \c ForwardRange, <tt>Callable\<match_results\<BidiIter\> \></tt>,
///      <tt>Callable\<match_results\<BidiIter\>, OutIter\></tt>, or
///      <tt>Callable\<match_results\<BidiIter\>, OutIter, regex_constants::match_flag_type\></tt>;
///      or else it is a null-terminated format string, or an expression template
///      representing a formatter lambda expression.
/// \pre <tt>[begin,end)</tt> denotes a valid iterator range.
/// \param out An output iterator into which the output sequence is written.
/// \param begin The beginning of the input sequence.
/// \param end The end of the input sequence.
/// \param re The regular expression object to use.
/// \param format The format string used to format the replacement sequence,
///        or a formatter function, function object, or expression.
/// \param flags Optional match flags, used to control how the expression is matched against
///        the sequence. (See \c match_flag_type.)
/// \return The value of the output iterator after the output sequence has been written to it.
/// \throw regex_error on stack exhaustion or invalid format string.
