Unicode Euphoria?

Since now Euphoria is already open source, is there any plan to make
Eu 100% unicode compatible?

In my mind, looks like we can make Eu unicode enabled by doing 
the following:

1. replace built-in functions open(), dir(), puts() and so on 
with the unicode equivalent e.g. override open() with own function 
such as calling the win32 API  (forget dos and linux, no real 
unicode support)

2. unfortunately we can't override built-in library functions (like get.e)
as easy as built-in functions, so the std lib files need to be modified
(e.g. get_bytes)

3. edit optional libraries like win32lib to use the unicode version 
of the win32 API

which means we do not need to edit Eu interpreter/compiler source
code at all.

Is that correct?

Anyone interested in having Eu support unicode?
