types.

     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new        
Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0  |   Component:  hash       
  Version:  Boost 1.34.1  |    Severity:  Problem    
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When BOOST_HASH_NO_EXTENSIONS is defined boost::hash only supports the
 types it has been explicitly specialized for, which doesn't include
 std::u16string and std::u32string. I don't know of any existing
 implementations, but it would be good to be prepared.

 To support them I need:

 1. A macro to be defined when they're present (in Boost.Config?)
 2. Add specializations to hash.hpp
 3. Add tests to hash_string_test.cpp
 4. Add documentation

 When BOOST_HASH_NO_EXTENSIONS is not defined they should work
 automatically (but it'd still be good to test this).
