Will this eventually move to UTF8? European languages typically
use only a small handful of non-latin symbols, typically just misc
punctuation. I recent dump of voice-of-america radio broadcasts
I ran through guile used misc UTF8 punctuation ... backwards-facing
double-quotes, ellipsis, etc. I'd hate to see this common case
blow up to 32-bits per char just to accommodate stray punctuation.
