utf8_codecvt_facet is there. This is used by serialization and by program options but we couldn't convince anyone that it should be "promoted" to public status
You proposed it for possible review and nobody was interested?
in spite of its demonstrated utility, correctness and documentation.
Wow. I don't know enough about facets (or, to be sure, Unicode) to be much of an authority, but it sounds important to me. I think it should get a review.
This was the only "neutral" place for it. Prior to that it was duplicated in each library which was also deemed unacceptable.

Sorry to dissapoint, but what you did is perfectly fine. utf8_codecvt_facet doesn't "belong" to either of those libraries. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
