Standard library, as according to standard does not accepts
wide strings.

So MSVC/Dinkumware implements... So what?

Does STL Port implements this?
Does GNU stdc++ implements this?
Does Intel compiler's standard library implements this?
Does Comeau C/C++ standard library implements this?
Does C++0x standards defines this?

This "wide string" file access is rather outstanding feature then a common one.
