The problem is policy the problem is Boost just can't decide once and forever that std::string is UTF-8...
Even if there was a consensus within boost, that isn't feasible. We don't own std::string, so we don't have a say in what it represents. There's a lot of existing code which is not based on that assumption - we can't just wish it out of existence and boost should be compatible with it.
