README example doesn't work

[alexwlchan]

I took the first example from the README, and tried to run it with the current stable compiler:

$ rustc --version
rustc 1.17.0 (56124baa9 2017-04-24)

These are my files:

# Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "regex-example"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Alex Chan <[email protected]>"]

[dependencies]
regex = "0.2"

// src/main.rs
extern crate regex;

use regex::Regex;

fn main() {
    let re = Regex::new(r"(?x)
(?P<year>\d{4})  # the year
-
(?P<month>\d{2}) # the month
-
(?P<day>\d{2})   # the day
").unwrap();
    let caps = re.captures("2010-03-14").unwrap();

    assert_eq!("2010", caps["year"]);
    assert_eq!("03", caps["month"]);
    assert_eq!("14", caps["day"]);

If I take these two files in a new project and run cargo run, I get an error:
