You see, "selling" a product which is supposed to
be unicode compliant and in fact does the opposite
of the products endorsing the Unicode.org work
on the side of memoery, performance and specific
unicode tasks, I should say, it is a little bit
beyond my understanding.

Please do not contradict me, it's a child play
to *illustrate* that.
(The theoretical explanation is something else).
