There have been cthreads, cwstring and clocale before. And there will
undoubtedly be more in the future. And as mentioned, a manager approach
is fine by me.
For me, that is good enough. It leaves open the possibility of native
implementations.
Given that Arnaud has an implementation for x86 and x64 (windows/linux), that can be
used to implement a manager implementation for these platforms, this covers the main
platforms. Most likely some other people will implement the calls for other platforms.
I don't see how this case differs from cthreads, clocale or cwstring: Like always,
we offer the choice.
