Completely rewritten expression parsing code, and traits class support;

Breaking Change: The syntax options that can be passed to basic_regex
constructors have been rationalized. The default option (perl) now has
a value of zero, and it is now clearly documented which options apply
to which regular expression syntax styles (perl, POSIX-extended, POSIX-basic
etc). Some of the more esoteric options have now been removed, so there
is the possibility that existing code may fail to compile: however equivalent
functionality should still be available.

types used previously - bad_expression and bad_pattern - are now just
