Speaking of different character types, perhaps there could also be interest
for converting between strings of different character types, as well? For

Hi,
I'm wondering whether the get_pointer function used by mem_fn et
al. is really justified. Since you can't invoke a member function on a
null pointer anyway, why not simply use *p for this purpose?
The original reason for using get_pointer in mem_fn
