About 14 months ago I posted the same thing. There was significant work that needed to be done to Boost.Text (the proposed library), and I was a bit burned out.

Now I've managed to make the necessary changes, and I feel the library is ready for review, if there is interest.

This library, in part, is something I want to standardize.

(as a power user) I would be interested to have such library in Boost and already had plan to try Boost.Text in my next C++ project with text.

I am following the discussions happening in SG16 and understand that there are some differences with the parts that will be proposed for standardisation (as ThePHD explains in his talk). Though honestly both approaches seems to solve my problems so I'm open to trying both. If boost.text is stable today, I'm happy to use it (at least to replace ICU and have a proper unicode text type).

Yes, JeanHeyd and I started with very different approaches, but we're converging somewhat. Zach
