#4215 closed Bugs (fixed)

match_results docs incorrectly refer to returning strings

Description

The documentation for match_results::length and match_results::position both say:

The overloads that accept a string refer to a named sub-expression n. In the event that there is no such named sub-expression then returns an empty string.

Those functions return difference_type not a string
