Well, maybe... if the C++ standardarization commitee hadn't dropped
the ball on sizeof(wchar_t)...:-/

I fear that this will make the entire std::wstring stuff unusable for
multiplatform development.

In any case it's not available as an option for me at this point.

My current platforms are gcc/linux and MSVC++/Win32.  gcc doesn't have
locale yet (I am on the mailing list for libstdc++-v3, so there is no
need to inform me of this work).  The MSVC++ Standard C++ Library
support is seriously broken in a multitude of ways, so we're getting
support for the parts of the library that we use, from Objectspace
Standards<ToolKit>, which doesn't support the locale stuff or
templatized streams.
