Oops... I'd completely forgotten wide-character strings.

Can you tell I do most of my development work under Linux these days? ;-)

Done. There's one new function (to_wstring), everything else should just
work the way you'd expect it to, whether you're using ASCII strings or
wide-character ones.

The changes have just been uploaded to the Sandbox (haven't updated the
