I've briefly looked through this library, but haven't gotten around to 
using it yet.

After reading the documentation the only question I really have is if 
there's a way to have it as a drop-in replacement. Surely 'using 
namespace boost::nowide' would conflict with STL definitions. I can see 
why this may not be desirable as it can lead to weird bugs, like the 
ineffectiveness of sync_with_stdio.

Besides that, I think this is a great library and I still find it a 
little odd why only in 2012 we're getting awesome stuff like this in Boost.
