I think I agree with Artyom here. *Somebody* has to decide how that datatype will be interpreted when we receive it. Unless we refuse altogether to accept std::string in our interfaces (which sounds like a bad idea to me), why not make the decision that it's UTF-8?
Because if the native encoding isn't UTF-8 that will give the wrong result for cases such as:
int main(int argc, char** argv) { // .... boost::filesystem::path p(argv[0]);
