which is probably why Derek was/is an advocate for using this encoding for actually working with strings.

Me too. Since UTF-32 actually only uses 31 bits, it fits perfectly with the old 31-bit integer used by 32-bit OE. (64-bit OE now uses a 63-bit integer, but even so...)

My recollection was that even C libraries like GTK would convert to UTF-32 to carry out various oeprations like checking the character length, and then only convert to UTF-8 as the final step.
