RE: UTF-8 <> UCS-2/UTF-16 conversion for library use

[Ayers, Mike]

        "If you think you have the answer to all the problems, then you
don't know all the problems."

        I tried to make a point, and apparently made it poorly.  I will try
again.  It seems that some people are arguing that UTF-16 is the ideal
solution for all computing, and that UTF-8 and UTF-32 exist only for network
transport.  Without getting bogged down in details, I care to disagree.

        Analyze problem.  Pick solution.  In that order.
