For the record, I'm happy too - in fact I'm excited that Guile is finally going to have wide strings. Technically I think I'm less of an expert here than everyone else who has commented, so I'm happy to defer to the apparent consensus. I see that Clinton's idea goes beyond that, but (IIUC) it looks like we doesn't lose anything by going with Latin-1/UCS-32 now, and then Clinton's idea could be added later; is that correct?
