Title: RE: [AD] Proposal to kill non-UTF-8 support

I suppose it all depends whether it is easy enough to plug
unicode support for interesting parts (eg config files) from
an addon without having to jump through hoops or patch the
lib itself.
But given the way it's done at the moment (via pointers to
functions), I'd say that supporting UTF-8 is no more hard
than supporting any possible Unicode format if the framework
(which will have to be there for UTF-8 support anyway) is
clean and robust.
But I too think that the proposal seems sensible.
