the plan 9 model is that all text is utf-8, with the exception of internal encodings which may be Runes. is your proposal - to change programs that take regular expressions to be exceptions to the plan 9 text model, or - to change the plan 9 text model ? either way, i think the bar should be high to change the text model for plan 9, and higher to make exceptions. - erik
