The problem with this approach is, it is not portable. MSVC++, for example,
does not have regex. So it would fail. So you'd need to include a GNU regex
lib with your program, which I doubt most people want to do. It also relies
on header files that are not available everywhere.

It's a nice idea, but it's not very portable.
