Message-ID: <E1MTGX1-0006OV-7K@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <tl7tz16j1tv.fsf@m17n.org> (message from Kenichi Handa on Tue, 21 Jul 2009 09:51:08 +0900)

    Currently, we are using unibyte buffers for various internal
    operations (e.g rmail, tar-mode, jka-compr, ...).

    It is theoretically possible to modify all of them to use a
    multibyte buffer that contains only ASCII and eight-bit
    chars.  But, as it may make the operations slow, I don't see
    a merit in doing that.

    Is that what you want to know?

Yes.  It means we certainly don't want to eliminate unibyte buffers.
