Unicode
For Unicode, it seems to me Euphoria has a distinct advantage
over other languages since strings are just sequences,
and the elements of a sequence can be very large numbers.
(Integers can be more than 31 bits. More like 52 bits).
Built-ins like find() and match() are already very general.
They are not limited to strings, let alone strings containing
8-bit characters.
Some builtins do assume 8-bit characters, e.g. puts(), gets(),
dir() and a couple of others.
A Euphoria library could override these using Euphoria-coded
routines that support Unicode. The library could call Windows
or Linux/FreeBSD C routines that support Unicode.
Perhaps someone could create such a thing, and eventually
I could build it into Euphoria's C-coded runtime routines.
