Yeah, I thought about that too -- based on your recent changes to
pod_char_traits.   To be honest, I don't have any favorite (and I think
I can be convinced for one way or the other :-).
I also thought about using a decoupled external traits like 

  template<typename CharT>
   struct int_type {
     // ...
   };

  template<typename CharT>
    struct state_type {
      // ...
    };
