[Boost-users] [iostreams] file sink/source and wide char paths?

it looks like the file_sink and file_source classes in iostreams take 
std::string for the file path.  Was this intentional?  I'm not sure what 
the consensus is on wide char file system paths, but it seems like they 
are supported by the filesystem package, for instance.  Should I just 
convert my wide char paths to narrow char when it comes to using them 
with file_sink/file_source -- or is there a better way?

Thanks,
