I think this means we need a strings programming PDD. If this is a good idea, I'll write one, but I will need help. But really, really, I honestly think we need to start sorting this out early, before it becomes endemic and we get so stuck in the *s++ mindset it's hard to get out again.
The character sets PDD is scheduled for completion March 15th (see http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot_grant_from_nlnet, we're right on schedule). First drafts welcome.
Until then, there is no spec, and horror is pretty much to be expected. :) Allison
