Which requires libc, and *nix supports UTF-8 directly.

The point is more or less to come up with some logical system, not just
random additions when something is missing.

And IMHO it is still to early, first the unicodestring support must be
finished, and then a course has to be laid out which of the thousands of
strings operations to convert.
