What's the std::wregex Unicode support look like for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010?

Does it support Unicode character classes? [:Nd:] and such.
Support of collations such as digraphs? [.ae.] and such.

Microsoft's implementation of std::wregex I am hoping is better than boost's with regards to Unicode?

I can use the ICU library. But ICU requires a 16MB data file! I am hoping to eliminate that dependency on Windows.

Note: regex the non-wide version, only supports ASCII characters! So my hopes are not high for wregex the wide version, properly implementing UTF-16.

did you not just post a really similar question? – byrondrossos Apr 21 '12 at 09:31
Similar, but this question is in regards to `wregex`, not `regex`. Which I am sincerely hoping has better Unicode support. I'll remove my other question and answer it here. – unixman83 Apr 21 '12 at 09:36
