Hans, don't you think it is a good property to limit the number of
tools which require additional complexity to handle such a delicate
problem? In the current framework, i.e., scanner | parser, don't you
think it is a desirable property for the reliability of the whole
program, that Unicode does not spread all around the place?
We are talking about parsers on top of a token stream, not scannerless
parsers. In this framework, pushing characters into the parser in
inadequate, and asking for troubles.
As far as I'm concerned, I've said and explained it all, I don't plan
to continue this discussion.
