If you think so, please persuade Microsoft.

BTW, It is Unicode which introduced the distinction between Shift_JIS
and CP932 and confused us.  Without Unicode, the only difference between
Shift_JIS and CP932 is that CP932 has some additional characters.

Thus, it is wrong to say that "This is a problem of CP932, and Unicode
is not responsible."
