Also, as I mentioned elsewhere, Unicode strings do not lend themselves to performance and iteration characteristics provided by std::string; in particular, constant time random access is not going to work for two of those three views of a string. I think that a Unicode string is much better matched to characteristics of SGI's rope class, but I haven't had the time to research that in detail.
I believe that in fact random access is a linear operation, whereas rope random access is an O(log N) operation (I believe). -- Jeremy Maitin-Shepard
