Detailed Description

template<>
class SmartUtil::UnicodeConverter< char, char >

Specialized version of UnicodeConverter class for NOT converting AT ALL.

This probably looks stupid at first sight, but if you wish to TRULY make UNICODE/ASCII support be COMPLETELY transparent you should in fact have a version that does NOTHING.
The reason is to avoid having the application do custom "#ifdef" on UNICODE checks to see "if we're supposed to convert or not".

static bool canConvert	(	const char *	input,
		ConversionCodepage::Codepage	codepage
	)			[static]

Returns true if conversion is possible.

There may axist many reasons as to why conversion is NOT possible. E.g. we may have a string which contains a character which has not been fully seen! You might have had some stream operation which haven't extracted a string containing the whole character, meaning you may have seen a leading byte for an UTF-8 conversion but no trailing byte etc.

Note the signature is slightly different than the "converting" classes. This is to avoid unnecesary copying of the input string.
