I can see why this may not be desirable as it can lead to weird bugs, like the ineffectiveness of sync_with_stdio.
See, the idea is to keep the API as familiar as possible such that simple mechanical conversion can be done, similarly to boost::shared_ptr -> std::shared_ptr, boost::function -> std::function etc.
I agree with Jookia here. Although the std::remove/std::iofstream etc. are not a big deal, it will be great if there is a simple way to set the std::cout/cin/cerr to use the same stream buffers as the nowide::* counterparts. It can be something as simple as changing boost::nowide::args a(argc,argv); to boost::nowide::args_and_ios a(argc,argv); . Cheers, Yakov
