is there a reason why both program_options and serialization contain very similar files utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp?

I think it's because neither Robert nor I feel ourself at liberty to create io/utf8 library without review.

I think it's probably possible to create a library without officially announcing it, but to be usefull it has to be in regression tests, and then users will start thinking such library is officially available and asking where are the docs, and so on.

As I've posted elsewhere, that's what the detail namespace/directory is for. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
