So you do not consider the fact the following code compiles (and runs!) cleanly as a painful problem? std::string s = get_utf8_string(); s[42] = '?'; I consider that std::string is cool as an internal for a Boost.Locale implementor, not as a standard API for encoded strings that should be used by all C++ developpers.
