Hi,
main problem is that for example, if I did create an instance of
string like this;
a := 'Some MultiByte Encoded String'.
then
a size
does not answer correct length of string.
Well, strlen does not in C, too. You need mbrlen, and #size is more
like strlen than mbrlen.
Also, the result heavily depends on the chosen character set. If we
want to have #utf8Size, that's fine. But #size should be the number of
*bytes*, not of characters.
I'm seeing now if I can add an EncodedStream method that extracts
Unicode characters. Then what you wanted would be something like
(EncodedStream wordsOn: 'some string') contents size
for which, of course, we can add a utility method.
