<P>The template class <CODE>regex_token_iterator</CODE> is an iterator adapter;
that is to say it represents a new view of an existing iterator sequence, by
enumerating all the occurrences of a regular expression within that sequence,
and presenting one or more character sequence for each match found. Each
position enumerated by the iterator is a <A href="sub_match.html">sub_match</A>
object that represents what matched a particular sub-expression within the
regular expression. When class <CODE>regex_token_iterator</CODE> is used to
enumerate a single sub-expression with index -1, then the iterator performs
field splitting: that is to say it enumerates one character sequence for each
section of the character container sequence that does not match the regular
expression specified.</P>
