+ any number you can imagine

It is easy to state that it is broken now and leadingChar causes harm. So 
nuking it will probably just inverse the problem situation but then it can be 
cured somehow by fixing the bugs. Handling the characters right in encoding is 
only one side of the medal. Characters and strings are still need to be 
comparable. To get this right it would mean to have support ICU [1] in pharo 
which is a good idea anyway. Well, if it is doable in a pluggable fashion of 
course.
