As for Walter being the only one coding by looking at the code units directly, that's not true. All my parser code look at code units directly and only decode to code points where necessary (just look at the XML parsing code I posted a while ago to get an idea to how it can apply to ranges). And I don't think it's because I've seen Walter code before, I think it is because I know how Unicode works and I want to make my parser efficient. I've done the same for a parser in C++ a while ago. I can hardly imagine I'm the only one (with Walter and you). I think this is how efficient algorithms dealing with Unicode should be written.
+1.
