Fair enough. Just my idea below.
How about converting those two utf8 bytes, to a marker one byte, to help the
suggestion at least? (although it still needs to get past the identifier
parser stopping at "st"
if(utf8_found)
{
convert_utf8_to_to_char(inbuf, outbuf);
suggest_alternative(outbuf);
}
else
{
suggest_alternative(inbuf);
}
in this case, inbuf would contain "st£ing" and be 7bytes+NUL and outbuf would
contain "str!ing" 6 bytes+NUL, that way, when it was compared, it would
correctly propose an identifier that was also 6 characters long
