Hi,
    Several days ago I upgrade boost from 1.44 to 1.48 and I found that
serialization format is not compatible for node of 'char' type.

    The serialization format of a "char a=0" node in boost1.44 is: { "a":
"\0" } while in boost1.48 is: { "a": "\u0000" }

    For the format of boost1.44, read_json of boost1.48 will throw
exception which complains unexpected escaped slash.

    Is this intended behavior or a bug or my misuse? Any suggestions is
welcomed.

Regards,
Ivan
