Shame, I assume you're using code that has to stay under the MIT licence.
I've just has a closer look at the new screen ...
It's UTF-8..UTF-8 support is good as far as it goes but there's no support
for double width characters.
It's character set conversion is poor, it is limited to the characters
in ISO-8859-1 and DEC Special graphics.
(You can do better using XC= and bindkey)
Switching between UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 modes may lose your screen contents
and can only be done manually but _can_ be done while running.
Mixed UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 screens on a UTF-8 terminal work well.
So in summary; "very useful ... so far".
