I agree with Don. Also, I don't think that a Unicode type should mention what encoding it uses as it's an implementation detail.
Right. I see from the documentation that it uses Word16s (and presumably the utf-16 encoding). Out of curiosity, why was this particular encoding chosen, as opposed to utf-8 or utf-32/ucs-4? Any benchmarks or other information? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
