std::basic_regex should have an allocator for all the reasons that a std::string does. For example, I can use boost::interprocess to put a string or vector in shared memory, but not a regex.

[ Resolution proposed by ballot comment ]

Recommend Open: Covered in LEWG9, P0269, which is in wording review.

P0269R0 has been superseded by P1294R0. Requested LEWG to confirm which version they forwarded to LWG. In any case, this is a feature request, not a defect, and will be dealt with as a proposal not an issue.
