Phew, that's huge. I'd really like to have smaller patches that do it
step by step. But anyway, the patch must have been a lot of work so
lets see and make the best out of it.
Some questions:
First:
- What is string->representation? It seems only to contain
string_rep_{one,two,four}.
- How does UTF8 fit here?
- Where are encoding and chartype now?
- Where is string->language?
With this string type how do we deal with anything beyond codepoints?
And some misc remarks/questions:
- string_compare seems just to compare byte,short, or int_32
- What happenend to external constant strings?
- What's the plan towards all the transcode opcodes? (And leaving these
as a noop would have been simpler)
- hash_string seems not to deal with mixed encodings anymore.
- Why does read/PIO_reads generate an UTF-8 first?
- Why does PIO_putps convert to UTF-8?
(I've not applied the patch here, so I might have missed something)
