Interesting: funnily enough I've just started experimenting with Unicode 
support for Boost.Regex (based initially on top of ICU, but it could equally 
sit on top of Boost.Unicode or whatever).  The first thing I had to do was 
write a bunch of iterators for interconverting between encoding forms (I 
needed Bidirectional Iterators which code conversion facets don't/can't 
provide).  So I guess we're all on a similar page here, can your encoding 
converters proved efficient iterator-based interconversion?
