Auto seems to have some sort of limitations
auto regex_p = new std::tr1::regex("foo", flags);

I feel your pain.

Me too. I avoid usings like "using namespace std". The using I posted brings
the tr1 namespace into std so I can use std::regex and not std::tr1::regex. I
don't use visual studio and clang and g++ require including special headers
like <tr1/regex> which I would rather not do.

auto has moved on significantly since C++14 and C++17 and you can now define a
function with an auto return value. It's also important for lambda's.
Especially useful for iterators so you don't have to code something like
std::unsorted_map<int, std::string>::iterator or use typedefs.
