I guess adding UTF-8 would be a good thing, but please don't totally remove the ability to do plain old 8 bit character sets. I find that with UTF-8 aware terminal emulators, it's quite possible to cut and paste something that looks like a valid bash command from your e-mail/chat/web browser/etcetera app into a UTF-8 aware terminal emulator, and only discover after much hair pulling that the things that look like quotes aren't really quotes to bash. Now if bash were UTF-8 aware too, that might work better. Not sure about that. It worries me a little, but at least then it'd be a matched set. -- Dan Stromberg
