No, I'm not doomed, because there *are* no other users. Never will be.
I thought I made that clear.
Many programming tasks do not go beyond the machine they were written on.
You seem to think I'm trying to rid the world of Unicode - I've stressed
that I'm not.
I just think that a language should allow one to bypass Unicode handling
easily *when it's not needed*.
