Hi Eric,

I've been lurking on this thread for a while, and I'm intrigued by
"multi-character literals". Beside being new to me, a Google search
yields little information on them, beside the fact that "The value of
a narrow or wide character literal containing more than one character
or escape sequence is implementation-defined." Isn't this a problem
for mpl::string? Thanks, --DD
