Hi,
The reason I asked is that while I have been using
>>          std::string  a;
>>          std::wstring b( a.begin(),a.end());
>>          std::string  c(b.begin(),b.end());
for a while now, I have started wondering if I was not shooting myself in 
the foot without knowing... I am no Unicode expert and Boost facilities in 
that area would certainly give me some confidence. Boost is nice also 
because codes are visited by skilled and experienced programmers and I am 
glad to benefit from that... :) More generally, I am still struggling on 
which string class I should use: std::string, std::wstring, some custom 
class...  Tobias, just like everybody I guess, I do share the idea that a 
boost::unicode would be a really nice addition.
