Yep. The standard only specifies char and wchar_t specializations for
std::char_traits.
The correct way to deal with this now is to explicitly specialize
std::char_traits for user-defined types. That's always been the correct
way to deal with this, but the generic-mostly-correct definitions that
were previously in place allowed people to be lazy.
No more.
