Well sort of. Unicode is hard. I'm glad you get it, but most people don't,
including the original people who created Node (no offence intended - it's
just not something that was thought through). Even if these bugs are worked
through, Javascript's Unicode support is so appallingly bad that you
probably want to look elsewhere anyway.

Fixing it isn't easy, and would slow down performance for anyone using
strings in the API, which is considered bad in the Node world.

Removing it would be a reasonable solution, but I don't see it happening.

As bnoordhuis said - file an issue. At least it can be tracked that way. I
just don't see it being very easy to fix.

Matt.
