Now, Zach, as a long time SG16 participant and contributor, you know full well that wchar_t doesn't imply Unicode :) I despise wchar_t and avoid it completely in public interfaces. I'll drop down to using it inside an implementation, but my functions which accept Unicode strings use char, and I perform the conversion in the implementation even when doing so has a performance cost (such as on Windows which wants a "wide string"). I try to offer only utf-8 as the choice of encoding for Unicode (again even on Windows). This approach is not wrong ;) It's a thankless job but someone has to protect the world from the ugliness of wide characters.

It is too late to save ourselves, but the choices we make today may save our great great great grandchildren! :) Tom.
