Hi,

I've been reading the list for a couple of weeks, but this is my first post.

Does this still include the possibility of switching between 1-, 2- and
4-byte storage internally? I think you mentioned this in your Google
talk and I thought it was a very good compromise - and much better
than a compile-time switch.
