Yeah. I'd avoid these if you can manage. There's not a whole lot of
reason to mandate Unicode in a lot of cases, and leaving it off means
things will work properly if your data comes in as non-Unicode. (That
and u0 and u1 will be essentially identical, or u0 will be rather odd
as everything's likely going to be either UTF16 or UTF32 internally
anyway)
I expect Larry and I will wrangle over mandating Unicode. I still
think it's unnecessarily restrictive to go Unicode-only. (Though the
thought of mandating sufficient modifiers to be able to treat data as
one of the other encodings is rather daunting, given the sheer number
of them)
