Comment (by Jason Erb <jason.erb@…>):

 Thanks for looking into this.  Here is the specific message:

 {{{error: implicit conversion loses integer precision: 'code_point' (aka
 'unsigned int') to 'const char' [-Werror,-Wconversion]}}}

 I have used various boost libraries for a long time with these warnings
 enabled and this is the first library in which I have hit this problem.
 In my view, the cast is entirely appropriate in this case: the user has
 specified {{{CharType}}} as the code unit type, so the code units sent to
 the output iterator should be of this type.
