If you store a lot of strings (as we do), I'm afraid using twice the
amount of space that we actually need will be, will be a serious
perfomance killer.

I'm also worried that basic_string<> seems to really be meant for
uniform width character codings, and I'm not sure what happens once we
run into the surrogates that extends the coding beyond UCS-2.  Will we
be able to use it?  Will it create trouble of some sort?
