[Boost-users] Documentation of utf8_codecvt_facet

Through google searches and examples I have found that using
utf8_codecvt_facet from boost/program_options/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp
allows me to imbue my std::wifstream like this:

std::wifstream f(p.string().c_str());
std::locale loc;
std::locale utf8loc(loc, new
boost::program_options::detail::utf8_codecvt_facet());
f.imbue(utf8loc);

and now the wifstream is able to read UTF-8 encoded files. However, I not
been able to find any 'official' documentation of this feature, and I'm not
really hooked on using undocumented features. Is there any documentation
somewhere?
