After about 5 previous attempts, the wxWidgets tries again to entice us with
their "string prowess" and programming know-how:


   http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_u_string.html


If we follow them long enough, they will "teach us how to program", (just about 10 minutes
after they learn how themselves).

(Reminds me very much of Microsoft, going back to OS/2, then windows OLE, ....)


Sad thing is, they almost got it right this time, now that their credibility is bashed.

Probably they should have switched to

   std::basic_string<uint32_t>

at the earliest opportunity, and just keep the member function wrappers off.

At least this time they derived from that class, rather than embedding it.
