No problem. Your insight as to why things are they way they are is
useful :)
I was shocked to discover this! Any code that uses bytes::length
is automatically broken.
FWIW, we did this so that people not using Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode
but
that had a Unicode string in memory would get something resembling the
correct result.
When you said 'we did this', I looked at the blame history, and that
code had been there since at or before 5.50.
Did you mean 'it was done like this', 'it was explained to me to be
this way because', or 'we made a conscious decision to keep it this
way because'?
Sorry for the pedantry, but I just 'fixed' this, so I'd like to
clearly establish what grounds on which this may be considered a bad
move :)
Cheers
