WHat's ICU == I see you?? :)

  then the current cvs has

it's like utf-16, but I replace all the chars above 0xFFFF with '?', so 
it's utf-16 that doesn't have 4-byte chars.

I don't really understand well what's character_traits etc (and how to 
create them myself), I only wanted that my regex16 would do the same job 
for chars 0-0x00FF as boost::regex does for 0-0xff, and the rest of the 
chars (>=0x0100) would be considered non-words (\W) and so that I could 
only use \xXXXX-\xXXXX notation for their ranges& patterns...
