I have had the exactly the same feeling (about the apples and orangutans) the whole time I've participated in the immutable vs. unicode string discussion. I know that Dean tries to focus on performance and does not care about encodings and I do care about performance just not so much Dean, does.
That's unfair and wrong. Dean's view<utf8_encoding> type was roughly equivalent to your utf8_string (names aside) all along. He espouses a different approach to managing data storage and the encoding than do you, but that doesn't mean he "does not care about encodings."
OK, that is basically right, and I know that Dean has proposed the view<encoding_tag> wrapper somewhere around the beginning. And I apologize for how the above may have sounded. Maybe I should have said it in a few more words at the risk of repeating myself for the N-th time. Matus
