I fully agree with that proposal. Don't forget the 'binary' encoding. It does nothing, but is a convenient way to distinguish text strings from binary streams of chars We should also consider a cleanup of the encoding names, preferably using the forms standarized by Unicode. -- Salu2 _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
