>> Please Boost developers, C++ programmers deserve not to deal with C-style strings anymore.

With all respect, this is not a view that I share. I'm a c++
developer who prefers C-style strings. Most of the coding standards
on C++ projects that I have been on over the last 10 years or so have
discouraged using C++ string wrappers. This hasn't changed recently
from what I can see. I rarely if ever use std::string or
std::basic_string. Many C++ developers still prefer C style string
handeling.
