Forgot a weird issue, that maybe is worth documenting (a note?): an user
of the library, privately told me that at least some versions of glibc
don't play well with -fshort-wchar: this means that unfortunately the
char_traits.h implementation of the wchar_t specialization is not
guaranteed to work when that compiler option is in effect.
Paolo.
P.S. For your curiosity: rewriting the wchar_t specializations by open
coding the various functions, allowed that user to get a clean testsuite
and quickly port a windoze application.
