Hi Guille, Sven, Esteban and Everyone,

Can someone (dis)confirm that the Zinc-Character-Encoding-Core package is
considered part of the pharo "core" image?

The reason I ask is that I'd like to know whether the File class (which
is part of the Files-Core package) can count on ZnUTF8Encoder (which is
part of the Zinc-Character-Encoding-Core package) being present in the
image.

If File can count on ZnUTF8Encoder being present then for FileAttributes
I will make UTF8 encoding / decoding available from File, and thus UTF8
file names will be supported.  If it can't count on ZnUTF8Encoder being
present then File will only be able to handle ascii file names (unless
the names are somehow already UTF8 encoded) and support for UTF8 file
names will effectively be restricted to FileSystem.


Thanks,
Alistair
