I've been looking around at Boost to find libraries where the designers  
faced similar problems and found Boost.Program_options. There is a webpage  
about Unicode support at  
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/program_options/design.html.  
Having read the discussion it seems like that it might be better to  
convert strings to an internal string type (in a JSON parser) instead of  
relying on Boost.Spirit somehow magically working with any string type  
provided by the user?
