Yes, it's already there in the compose.hpp header. :-)

Actually, I started with std::string only since Glib::ustring and
std::string should be more or less compatible. But it turned out not
to work properly anyway since the stringstream I'm using converts the
ustring from UTF-8 to the encoding of the current locale. So there are
both a compose.hpp for ordinary strings and a ucompose.hpp for
Glib::ustrings.
