For the record, I'm happy too - in fact I'm excited that Guile is
finally going to have wide strings.  Technically I think I'm less of
an expert here than everyone else who has commented, so I'm happy to
defer to the apparent consensus.  I see that Clinton's idea goes
beyond that, but (IIUC) it looks like we doesn't lose anything by
going with Latin-1/UCS-32 now, and then Clinton's idea could be added
later; is that correct?

Regards,
        Neil
