Well, perhaps the same reason they'd "object" to me writing my own
encryption or compression?
It seems a lot of the time when I ask for advice about how to do something,
instead of answering the question as written, a lot of people try to solve
what they see as the 'wider' problem and advise me to use a "tried and
tested" library that someone's already built, but that I often (as in,
often - not always) then find impossible or confusing to configure or use
the way I want.
I don't have any particular problems with creating my own string library,
but since people seem so good at recommending an alternative, I thought I
might give them the chance.
I read the following website, which saved me the effort of searching for an
easy way of converting a std::basic_string to a BSTR, thinking that the
std::basic_string would be one of the things people would tell me to use:

However, I think all the indications are that I should definitely roll my
own on this one. I'll also have to use C++.
