I see that Maddock's adapters does the job, but does it provide the
reliability of ICU? For example, when it comes to round-trip conversions?
Not that I doubt the library, it's just that it looks like a subset of a
bigger domain. If it's been tested and deemed appropriate, I think it
suffices for me.

Any comments on the review schedule for Boost.Locale and Boost.Unicode? It
seemed as if they compete on some points.

Thank you for your kind input,
