Re: unicode file

However, the extra library I wrote (nothing special, of course) is useful
for its simplicity and to give a RAII approach to Unicode UTF-8 text file
management.

No debate here, it can still be useful.


it is simpler than calling _open, specifying some flags, converting
UTF-16 -> UTF-8, closing the file, etc.

My small library does the UTF-16 to UTF-8 conversion behind the scene.

This kind of conversion is what is also happening with then new _open.

Not saying your library is not useful.
People use CFile instead of CreateFile, std::string or CString instead
of char* and so on.

But I also think one should be aware of all options, to be able to
choose what fits best for her/his case.
