Subtle hint noted. Ok ok, I'll look into it.

»About the only« is a bit of an exaggeration ;-) Anything that is written
in C# or Java shouldn't have that problem; or Common Lisp, come to think of
it. But yeah, back in the old days, pretty much nobody felt like using
wchar_t instead of char everywhere in C. I didn't, either, back then. (Not
to mention that in the really old days, wchar_t didn't even exist ;-)
I'll see what I can do.
