Matz claims that Ruby currently has enough tools to deal with
encoding. The problem is that you have to be an expert to do it
right. The earliest Ruby is going to deal with encoding is in Rails
2.0 and that's not going to come out really soon. So this leaves the
encoding problem with the application programmers. Even though I have
to admit that I would rather see a good solution in Ruby core or in a
stdlib, it's not going to happen. ActiveSupport::Multibyte is an
attempt to make dealing with encoding simpler for the Rails (core)
programmer, right now. It could also work as a deprecation mechanism
when/if support for Ruby comes out.
If ActiveSupport::Multibyte would be released as a gem or standalone
library, Rails code can't depend on it and we'd have to litter the
code with if statements.
