// BIG FAT WARNING FOR Microsoft Visual Studio Users
//
// YOU NEED TO CONVERT THIS SOURCE FILE ENCODING TO UTF-8 WITH BOM ENCODING.
//
// Unfortunately MSVC understands that the source code is encoded as
// UTF-8 only if you add useless BOM in the beginning.
//
// So, before you compile "wide" examples with MSVC, please convert them to text
// files with BOM. There are two very simple ways to do it:
//
// 1. Open file with Notepad and save it from there. It would convert
// it to file with BOM.
// 2. In Visual Studio go File->Advances Save Options... and select
// Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) Codepage 65001
//
// Note: once converted to UTF-8 with BOM, this source code would not
// compile with other compilers, because no-one uses BOM with UTF-8 today
// because it is absolutely meaningless in context of UTF-8.
//

std::wcout << L" Greek ὈΔΥΣΣΕΎΣ is correctly converted to " << to_lower(L"ὈΔΥΣΣΕΎΣ") << L", instead of incorrect "
<< boost::to_lower_copy(std::wstring(L"ὈΔΥΣΣΕΎΣ")) << std::endl;
std::wcout << L" where Σ is converted to σ or to ς, according to position in the word\n";
std::wcout << L"Such type of conversion just can't be done using std::toupper that work on character base, also "
