Comment (by apolukhin):

 To be honest, I also miss that functionality sometimes.

 But before implementing it, I need to
 * fix existing issues with std::locale on some compilers
 * determinate a portable and reliable way to do narrowing of characters
 (it looks almost impossible to me)

 So this won't be fixed in nearest future. And I'm afraid that Boost.Locale
 shall be used in such cases...
