behaviour of < is different if the string is unicode. u: is required in
some places and it is not related to simplicity or complexity if you
wants correct results.
compare the outputs of _16{.a. with u: _16{.a.
the first contains illegal utf8 characters which can be checked by
isutf8 _16{.a.
What would you expect from gtkide to display those illegal characters?
