Folks,

Well, I don't really agree with this.  I have found the C++
templated versions of stuff like isspace to be implemented somewhat
inconsistently between compilers, and when things go wrong it is
hard to work out why.  Just casting an argument in problems cases
seems fine to me.

I believe when we move to unicode we are likely to use utf-8, not wchar_t,
in the bulk of the code.

Best regards,
