Fine. I'll shut up on the topic. Go ahead, the floor is yours, go and
make whatever point you want to make. Clearly I have absolutely no
idea about characters, strings, Unicode, or in fact anything to do
with programming, as I obviously have no real-world experience with
string manipulation in REXX, Perl, PHP, Python, Pike,
JavaScript/ECMAScript/etc, or the "language" of bash+GNU utilities,
and clearly I should just let the experts discuss this stuff. Have
fun.
