Special casing sucks...

Well, since fish is written from scratch, it was pretty easy to simply
use wchar_t instead of char, and get most of the support for free.

A Terminal question: Are there any plans to add support for setting
the terminal statusbar message using \e]2;MESSAGE\a? Fish only tries
to use this feature under terminals that support it, but unfortunatly
this detection breaks when one is using GNU screen, so the combination
of OS X Terminal, screen and fish forces you to manually disable this
feature.

Also, how about shipping fish as the default OS X shell? :-D
