As a European I would be pleased to have an error free unicode

I left Php hoping ruby was more advanced on this side...
In Ruby you can store utf-8 encoded text in strings, use regexes
on utf-8 encoded strings and convert between different encodings
using the iconv library. If I'm not mistaken, this is basically
the same as what you can do in PHP.
If you _need_ a dynamic language with a true and tested Unicode
String type _right now_ you might want to take a look at Python. ;-)
Thijs, it sucks in Python too, because it's explicit and optional.
Please read my message more thoroughly.
Hi Julian, I _did_ read your message thoroughly and I think the
changes you propose are an excellent way to fix the problem in Rails.
I don't think I fully agree with you on the apocalypse part, but I do
see the problem and I do think this your proposal is the best way to
make it 'just work' in Rails without breaking anything.
Kind regards,
Thijs
