Constructs a new `regex_token_iterator`:

1) Default constructor. Constructs the end-of-sequence iterator.
2-5) First, copies the list of the requested submatch out of the `submatches` or `submatch` argument into the member list stored in the iterator and constructs the member std::regex_iterator by passing `a`, `b`, `re`, and `m` to its four-argument constructor (that constructor performs the initial call to std::regex_search) and sets the internal counter of submatches to zero.

- If, after construction, the member `regex_iterator` is not an end-of-sequence iterator, sets the member pointer to the address of the current std::sub_match.
- Otherwise (if the member `regex_iterator` is an end-of-sequence iterator), but the value -1 is one of the values in `submatches`/`submatch`, turns `*this` into a suffix iterator pointing at the range `[a,b)` (the entire string is the non-matched suffix)
- Otherwise (if -1 is not in the list of submatches), turns `*this` into the end-of-sequence iterator.

The behavior is undefined if any value in `submatches` is less than -1.

6) Copy constructor: performs member-wise copy (including making a copy of the member `regex_iterator` and the member pointer to current sub_match).
7-10) The overloads 2-5 are prohibited from being called with a temporary regex since otherwise the returned iterator would be immediately invalidated

### [edit] Parameters

a | - | `BidirectionalIterator` to the beginning of the target character sequence
b | - | `BidirectionalIterator` to the end of the target character sequence
re | - | regular expression used to search the target character sequence
submatch | - | the index of the submatch that should be returned. "0" represents the entire match, and "-1" represents the parts that are not matched (e.g, the stuff between matches).
submatches | - | the sequence of submatch indices that should be iterated over within each match, may include the special value -1 for the non-matched fragments
m | - | flags that govern the behavior of `re`
