This illustrates one of my objections to Andrei's post: by auto-decoding
behind the user's back and hiding the intricacies of unicode from him,
it has masked the fact that codepoint-for-codepoint comparison of a
unicode string is not guaranteed to always return the correct results,
due to the possibility of non-normalized strings.
Basically, to have correct behaviour in all cases, the user must be
aware of, and use, the Unicode collation / normalization algorithms
prescribed by the Unicode standard.
Which is a reasonable thing to ask for.
