 I have just pushed my latest version.

 Please do not go for any mass conversions yet, I want to keep modifications 
limited to just something reasonably small and see how it works in practice. 
I'll convert more stuff over the time (operators =, ==, OString, etc.) and if 
it all works well, the macro usage can be cleaned up.

 I eventually went with non-explicit ctor and assuming string literals to be 
utf-8. I'm rather ambivalent about the latter, I can see reasons for either 
way, but it shouldn't be difficult to switch that forth and back.
