If I understood you correctly, I'm the one handling both sizes. :-) In one of
my applications we worked with standard char in windows-1252 codepage and
needed to support Unicode in some places and decided to use what Windows
supports per default, which is wchar_t as 16 Bit datatype with UTF-16 encoding.
This resulted in classes which work with PCRE on windows-1252 encoding and
UTF-8-encoding the same time. If PCRE supports UTF-16 or at least 16 Bit wide
strings natively in future versions, I would considering using those instead of
converting our strings to UTF-8 before using PCRE. But of course I could only
do this for new code and would really appreciate if all modes could be used in
the same class.

Just as a hint: In January this year I asked for supporting std::wstring in
pcrecpp. Is this something to consider now again? The topic was "implementing
support for std::wstring in pcrecpp".
