I would prefer for any such replacement to be still part of boost/detail. Depending on boost.locale just to get one header seems not perfect.
I disagree with this. Putting into detail suggests that it's and implementation detail - when it's more than that. We're not making our libraries dependent on boost.locale - just this one header - just like if we left it in detail. This example illustrates the weakness of our concept of "dependency" between libraries. I've maintained that our efforts to diminish dependencies between libraries are based on fuzzy definition of what it means for libraries to be dependent. Here is a case which illustrates that. - Off topic I know - sorry. Robert Ramey
