Boost filesystem does not use correct unicode facet for wpath on osx

Description
When using boost::filesystem on osx, it doesn't perform any unicode conversion for wpath. It seems to be because it does not use the correct facet.
Adding following lines fixes the problem,
std::locale global_loc = std::locale(); boost::filesystem::detail::utf8_codecvt_facet utf8_facet(1); std::locale loc(global_loc, &utf8_facet); boost::filesystem::wpath_traits::imbue(loc);

I just noticed that this bug is owned by Beman and the above solution was also taken from a 2007 forum post by Beman. So if is already aware of this issue, I am curios that why this fix still wasn't added to boost.
