I see that wstring_convert and codecvt_utf8_utf16 are in the current C++0x spec. Are there plans to backfill boost with implementations for these? I'm also curious why the critique of wstring_convert (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1750.html) was not incorporated for C++0x. Thoughts? I've also spotted a comment in boost codecvt_utf8_facet saying: // note the following code will generate on some platforms where // wchar_t is defined as UCS2. The warnings are superfluous as // the specialization is never instantitiated with such compilers. Does that mean that boost.codecvt_utf8_facet is capable of acting as a UTF-8 / UCS2 converter on a Windows box, where wchar_t is 2 bytes in size?
