Our charter describes the large language as:
a language that embodies the essential character of Scheme, that
is large enough to address the practical needs of mainstream
software development, and that can be extended and integrated
with other systems. [...] The language is not necessarily
intended for educational, research, or embedded use, though such
uses are not prohibited. Therefore, it may be a "heavyweight"
language compared to the language designed by working group 1.

The native charset of SMS messages supports English, French, mainland
Scandinavian languages, German, Italian, Spanish with no accents, and
GREEK SHOUTING. Everything else has to be Unicode, which means you get
only 70 16-bit characters in a text instead of 160 7-bit characters.
