Right. I hope this is possible (wx::String an alias for boost::string)
but I'm still cringing at the necessity to type two colons, which
means faster onset of repetitive strain injury, as well as being harder on
the eye. I think we should make it officially sanctioned to write wxString
for wx::String, wxWindow for wx::Window, etc. and not something
anyone has to feel slightly guilty about.

Julian
