See ticket <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1736>, titled
    "Headers containing non ASCII characters cause MS VC to issue 
warning 4819 in some locales"

IIRC, utf-8 sequences can contain characters that are not in the 
range 32 ... 127.
These will trip the warnings referenced above.

It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
