    Golden rule: When you add Unicode support to a system, please make sure
    to keep the configuration options down to the absolutely necessary
    minimum.

Of course. But things that work today and are used by people
must keep working. This tends to force configuration options.

[Now that I see what I wrote yesterday night I can only
conclude that it was late. Some details were wrong. Sorry.]
