I've been reading up on unicode, and I don't think our strings are 
unicode safe. Even though we can embed unicode characters in our 
strings, it looks like stl::string (which we use for our strings) 
doesn't like variable length character code points. So, functions like 
find, trim, regmatch, and etc won't do anything sensible with chars 
wider than 1 char (as far as I know). How can we deal with this? A lot 
of other new languages are moving towards using utf-8 and utf-16 for 
their strings. Should we follow them? We'd have to recode everything 
though. We could use something like this:

But it might be better to just write it in felix. What do you guys think?
