Comment:
A reason for using utf8 internally is that I checked gtk documentation,
and it said it returned utf8 offsets. I did not imagine you'd adapt it in
gtk2hs. :) It turns out the Yi code in not (much) more complex anyway:
position in buffer is used abstractly almost everywhere.
Also, since we used bytestrings for performance reasons anyway, it was
rather natural to encode unicode as UTF8 in it. An obvious additional
benefit is saved memory in the usual ascii case.
I was guessing this is a common use-case, maybe I'm wrong.
Also, using PangoLayout is quite CPU-intensive. I can't tell the share of
the haskell layer though.
If I end up implementing this, would you accept patches?
