     I think it raises a broader question about compiler support
     for text encodings.  Ideally boost could standardise on
     utf-8 and bring C++ into a globalised, multi-lingual world.
     But, I'm not sure what the C++ standard says about handling
     of non-ASCII encodings...

     MSVC seems to be saying that it interprets source code
     in a locale-dependent manner.
