Greetings all,

My vote is "no", or more specifically "not yet".  After seeing how 
much work is involved in unicode, I think we're stretched thin enough 
just trying to make a good Roman alphabet search engine.

When 3.2.0b5 was released, there were lots of comments from 3.1.6 
users that the digging speed is unacceptable.  I vote that the next 
major project should be to improve the efficiency, in terms of speed, 
database size and (if possible) code size.  Neal, you mentioned big 
improvements using STL.  Do you have any sample code?

If we choose to go with STL, then we could use their  wchar  strings 
and UTF-8 i/o, which would make the system nominally Unicode 
complient.  Once someone actually wants to *use* ht://Dig for 
non-word-breaking scripts, then we/they/their-contacts can write the 
word breaking code.
