Another option is to use the wchar_t facet to query the separator and
then use the similar clear converter facets from the c++ lib to build a
string<char_t> from it - but I guess that would be like 20 lines of
code that make all perl scripts look very nice.

But for concrete solutions: can we hack the conversion (wherever that
happens) to special case non-breaking-space into simple space when
truncating to char_t?
