Dear boosters,

What is the consensus on best-practice regarding the conversion of UTFx
to/from UTFy?

I see that Boost Regex uses ICU for some conversions, but is there any user
exported interface for conversions?

There are several points in which being able to convert between UTFs is
interesting.

While I could stick to one of the several solutions and façades on the Web
(including some Boost Vault projects), I would rather know the current
community opinion on the subject.

Any sandbox and/or vault projects that catched any veterans eyes?

Kind regards,
Rodrigo
