This header adds stuff to namespace std.
That's not allowed,
What's being added is stuff that is in fact specified in the standard, or as near to it as the compiler will permit.
and doesn't even work with some standard library implementations.
As those cases arise, the #if's will be expanded as needed. The idea is to do what is possible, allowing most non-conforming and legacy compilers and libraries to get more mileage out of Unicode encodings. It won't be perfect, and the typedef technique isn't pretty, but it does seem to solve a problem real users are asking be solved. --Beman
