That's great. Except that the standards people often forget the most basic 
things should be easy...

Here's one they forgot. Please fill in the blank:

#include <string>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    std::u16string s = __________ (argv[1]);
}

I'm looking for the equivalent of QString::fromLocal8Bit().
