[...]I wonder if I missed anything? Is this the cheap, simple and efficient solution for literal strings in templates Alf was looking for in his thread on Usenet? Or is there an implicit requirement about encoding which I currently don't see and which makes code like above a bad idea?
I've been looking around at Boost to find libraries where the designers faced similar problems and found Boost.Program_options. There is a webpage about Unicode support at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/program_options/design.html. Having read the discussion it seems like that it might be better to convert strings to an internal string type (in a JSON parser) instead of relying on Boost.Spirit somehow magically working with any string type provided by the user?
