 '''Bad handling of escaping:'''

 From an std::string, *b is a char (not unsigned char).

 {{{
 unsigned long u = (std::min)(static_cast<unsigned long>(*b), 0xFFFFul);
 }}}

 This line converts all chars with a negative value to 0xFFFFul.


 On Mac OSX 10.6 there is a problem with std::locale, it cannot be changed
 to something else than 'C'. The strings I added in my ptree are already
 UTF-8 encoded.

 All french accents become uFFFF\uFFFF with write_json() while they are
 written fine with write_xml().
