 Oops, sorry for not noticing this. I should have known you wouldn't have
left this undone.

 Do you know if system library has good support for Unicode on modern Linux

instead of the built-in one if it passes some tests. But before
implementing this it would be useful to know if it has any chance of
succeeding...
