 The trouble is that without default parameters in template functions we
have no way (or, at least, no nearly reasonable way) to support passing
NULL to wxFileSelector and related functions. I won't go into the details
but supposing that I don't miss something obvious, we can only drop support
for using NULL in these functions -- people will get compilation error for
the code doing this but will hopefully discover relatively quickly that
they have to replace NULL with wxEmptyString. Do you think this would be
acceptable?

 Thanks,
