It's incomplet and incorrekt. Even with those array initializers fixed that
function tries to call a non-existent std::ctype::isspace() function and does
(__f | __wt) when it should be (__f & __wt), and only works for char not
wchar_t, and probably other issues.

The TR1 code in libstdc++ is not going to change, so if Boost is an option then
yes, use that.
