That way, the syntax of these unibyte > characters could be determined from the current equivalency. Maybe I'm lazy, but I think that it's better to tell those users to not use unibyte mode. That will not only save us work, but will also help them avoid the various other quirks that can show up with unibyte mode. Stefan
