Just looking in Pharo 2.0 release on Unicode handling today ...

The class comment for UTF8DecomposedTextConverter says 

"An UTF8DecomposedTextConverter converts from decomposed UTF8 using the
UnicodeCompositionStream."

I don't see UnicodeCompositionStream ... at least not in this One-Click
image today ...

I also wonder why we do not have more of a parallel in the BOM methods for
the  utf8 and utf16 Converter classes to ensure converter instances have
polymorphic behavior ... even such simple accessors as BOM value methods are
not implemented ... but one class has a >>nextPut... method that is doing a
BOM check each time, so it is not just avoiding a method call here if that
was the issue, I suppose ... 

I do use Unicode every day in my Japanese app's and this mismatch across
converters looks as if it would bite someone eventually ...

Or no ?  Maybe I am missing something obvious ...

Btw, are we safe to assume that no one in India (or elsewhere with IT shops)
is still using utf32 ?
