Isn't that just a digression into the bad old pre-internationalized
days. Unicode-schmunicode, but I'm all about the internationalization,
even if I am just an English speaker, and Unicode makes it happen, so
I love it. And it's WAY too easy for me as an English speaker to
ignore or badly program so that Internationalization is more work than
it needs to be, so any effort to push me into character classes is
Good and I appreciate the discipline.
