To be honest, I didn't get as far as reflection because it didn't show
up immediately as a compile error after I changed the underlying
basic_string type in the messages. But as far as reflection is
concerned, the only difference between my string and std::string is
the allocator, so at least for now I don't mind generalizing the
reflection interface to use basic_string for strings and leaving it up
to the caller to make sure they cast to the correct underlying type --
whether the generated message uses my string or ::std::string is a
command-line option, so the unit tests should remain operational.
However I'm open to other approaches to getting around this issue,
that doesn't involve refactoring so much 3rd party (at least from my
point of view) code.

Unlikely. I don't know how you'd implement GeneratedMessageReflection such
that it can deal with user-specified instances of basic_string.

I was wondering if there was any plans to support std::basic_string,
as opposed to std::string? The reason I ask is because our code base
uses a custom allocator for strings and hence our own string type
(i.e. typedef std::basic_string... MyString), and the generated
protocol buffer code is hard-coded against ::std::string. Even when I
changed the outputted string type, a lot of the library I/O still only
accepted std::string. It took a few more hours of compiler/library
modifications to get that fixed up, and now everything seems to
compile and run correctly, however all my delicate changes will be
stomped in the next version release...
