The default widestring manager does not fullfill in all conversion needs 
and should be expanded to give users more control over conversions.

However, when expanding the functionality it should be done properly, not 
in a way that it will have to be changed over and over again. Not all 
functionality needs to work at once, if you just want to support UTF-8 in 
the beginning this is okay.

The API, however, should be solid and future proof, as it needs to be 
backward compatible.
