Supporting the handling of the byte stream is easy;
the hard part is to display them, for non trivial scripts
(a trivial script is a script written from left to right, with
a one-to-one relation between character and glyph, and with all
caracters taking exactly one column of width (no double width,
no combinatory ones))
