- The Draft C++ Standard is quite well-equipped with internationalization
- support. Consult Clauses 22 and 27 of the latest draft working paper
-
- <http://www.cygnus.com/misc/wp/sep95/>.
-
- [By the way: the sep95 draft is not for quoting -- it is just a working
- copy subject to sometimes radical change, not a standard.]
-
- It is not yet described in books because it is too new, and not yet
- implemented in publicly available products.
