note another issue here.

Originally the utf8_codecvt_facet was  sort of it's own library.  This made 
a lot of sense since it is used by at least three other libraries: 
serialization, file_system, and program options.  But strident objects were 
raised about this since it hadn't been reviewed. so it was stuffed into a 
detail header.  But this left a problem as to where
to put a test and documentation page for it. Also the question arose as to
where to put the source code for it.  The library was made as a template
and instatiated by each library which uses it.  I required at least minimal 
testing
and documentation so I put this stuff into a section of the serialization 
library.

Not a good situation - a lot messier than it has to be.

This needs to be a "real" library with it's independent documentation and 
tests.
