Well, I don't like my language to be crippled, because Windows is not able
to support Unicode or something like that. Don't know if such problems exist
on other platforms - IIRC Macs don't suffer these problems from the
charset/OS site (don't know for sure, since I used Macs only occasionally).
You are right of course - if this would lead to problems, it should not be
implemented.
