>Does [Stallman] have some real objection to Unicode? Or is this just >an arbitrary and quixotic decision? I think he's relucant to rewrite MULE to use Unicode. I think he's reluctant to commit to one encoding; MULE, if I recall correctly, allows you to switch between several 16-bit encodings. I think he has a higher tolerance for complexity than most people. I need to consult one more guru, but I'm leaning towards using 16-bit characters everywhere internally, and providing convenient conversion functions. Note that copying is sometimes already necessary for substrings. >What's the word on excising mbstrings.[ch]? It can go.
