I really wonder why this has suddenly become such a big issue. In practice, these things have worked fine for ages, so why bother _now_ when we should focus on finalizing the release of 22.1 ? IIRC, the current issue was raised because someone suggested to add \u and \U for unicode to the Lisp reader -- something we have also lived without for ages. I would suggest to leave the entire issue for after the release! Then everything will be solved the right way, as we will migrate to unicode internally for 23.x. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
