i would do the same thing but there is no way at moment to implement it 
since AmigaOS itself doesn't support wide strings and also our G++ 
compiler has it disabled so it is impossible for us to implement it

there are only few places at moment where those functions are called and 
also wstring is used in a few places. Why implement a thing that could 
be replaced with two instructions?
Another soultion could be: Split the String_as.cpp in two. String_as.cpp 
and WString_as.cpp so at configure time we can choose the right one and 
using always the same functions but choosen using the correct file
