Is there any rationale for not supporting Unicode in some boost libraries (e.g. filesystem, program_options)?
Probably one of the main problems is that there's no de facto or de jure standard for Unicode in C++. As I understand it, however, the new filesystem library will have support for wide characters. There may also be some worry about the portability of wide-character filenames or options. Of course most (all?) libraries will handle (in terms of storing and regurgitating) UTF-8 fine, if you can arrange for the external environment to produce and accept it. ~ Scott
