This surprised me a lot...I thought that one can never initial a wstring using a const char* literal until I read this...

@Edityouprofile: It's not actually initializing the wstring from const char *. It's copying individual character values from a range of chars and relying on implicit conversion to turn them into wchar_ts (or whatever the destination character type is). For true 7-bit ASCII values, the implicit conversion does the right thing.
