Would this be right?
English + English = English English + Chinese = Dunno English + Dunno = Dunno
+ being symmetric.
I've been assuming it's a left-side wins, as you're tacking onto an existing string, so you'd get English in all cases. Alternately you could get an exception. The end result of a mixed-language operation could certainly be the Dunno language or the current default--both'd be reasonable.
How does a Dunno string know how to change case?
It uses the defaults provided by the character set. -- Dan
