Hi guys,
do we have (or desire) a guideline about the usage of characters not
in the basic source character set? One of the Adobe ASL patches for
Boost
<http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Annotated_List_of_Boost_Patches>
(see is_base_and_derived.hpp) concerned this issue and was recently
applied. Similarly, the bug database has:
<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1461533&group_id=7586&atid=107586>
In short, while the standard specifically provide for behavior in
translation phase 1 (!) many compilers still have (supposedly)
problems with them. Should we care about that and/or give a response
to 1461533?
