3851	[iostreams] aggregate_filter incapable of handling character types other than char	Benjamin.DeTroch@…	Jonathan Turkanis	"It appears aggreate_filter is incapable of handling character types other than char. When you for instance try using wchar_t, you'll get following compiler error:

boost/iostreams/filter/aggregate.hpp(95): error C2664: 'void boost::iostreams::aggregate_filter<Ch,Alloc>::do_write<Sink>(Sink &,const char *,std::streamsize)' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'wchar_t *' to 'const char *'
        with
        [
            Ch= wchar_t,
            Alloc=std::allocator<wchar_t>,
            Sink=boost::iostreams::non_blocking_adapter<boost::iostreams::detail::linked_streamuf< wchar_t >>
        ]
        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast.
