Interesting question. I haven't looked into shells and UTF-8 yet. So far
I assumed that bash uses readline as its editor and Ulrich Drepper
claimed quite some time ago in an email to me that GNU readline now also
works in UTF-8 locales, so my hope was that this solved the most urgent
aspect of bash UTF-8 support. Will need some practical testing.
Are there any other aspects of bash than the editor that need to be
extended for UTF-8? Backslash escape sequences for Unicode characters in
string literals, regular expressions and filename globbing, string
manipulation functions, etc.?
