Passing an argument of non-POD class type boost::match_results through ellipsis

Description
boost::regex_replace() is implemented using the any_type struct that has a single constructor that has ellipsis as the argument type. The non-POD type boost::match_results is passed to the any_type constructor.
I believe this violates the standard (section 5.2.2 para 7. In particular, "If the argument has a non-POD class type (clause 9), the behavior is undefined."
This issue was detected with the IBM compiler XL C/C++ 11.1.0.3 with the following diagnostic:
"boost/regex/v4/regex_format.hpp", line 912.67: 1540-2924 (W) Cannot pass an argument of non-POD class type "boost::match_results<std::_Ptrit<char,long,const char *,const char &,char *,char &>,std::allocator<boost::sub_match<std::_Ptrit<char,long,const char *,const char &,char *,char &> > > >" through ellipsis.

(In [74897]) Improve sprintf usage. Stop passing UDT's through (...) even in meta programs. Fixes #5958. Refs #5835.
