I'd rather people not include the full list by hand now,
since I'd like a compiler optimization such as
(declare (not string-integrations))
to keep it simple to use. I could actually add a syntax
module that does this so people could say
(use no-string-integrations)
but the declaration seems cleaner.

That last section was actually a not to myself and other
people who might want to hack the utf8 egg... it was never
intended to be in the public documentation.
Anyway, if I were being tendentious I would've had *much*
more to say about UTF-16 :) As it is, yes, the UCS-2 to
UTF-16 switch was unforseen by early adopters and was a huge
change in complexity.
Note most Common-Lisps seem to use UCS-2, which is
fundamentally broken, yet they pretend they don't have a
problem.
