I nearly fully agree with you.
Except that, when a string constant needs to contain non-ASCI chars.
What do we do in these cases?
Only if you need to process characters (rather than pass them on),
UTF-32 is a lot faster and simpler.
Yes. If I knew how to write this patch, I'd be working on it right now.
