Yes, I would like to pay that. I already pay a 7/8 bit overhead, and a
supposedly machine independent language would be well served by further
internationalisation. I already accept that java is not as fast as, say, C,
so what's the problem? Set the default as unicode, and then allow people to
downgrade to a subset if the performance overhead is critical.
