Re: Unicode, strings, and Show

There was recently a discussion about it, search for subject "Can we improve Show instance for non-ascii charcters?"

You can read for yourself but my impression was that people were generally favorable, but had some backward compatibility worries, and came up with some workarounds, but no one committed to following up on a ghci patch.

It would be great if someone could create a Trac ticket so we had someplace persistent to track this discussion. Manuel, perhaps you could handle this? Cheers, - Ben
