Re: Lua 5.1 and UTF-8 ?

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

My point exactly (that no external yet-another library should be  
required).

The goal for me would be UTF-8 only, boldly ignoring the issues with  
existing data in other encodings.  For that, a couple of patching  
points within Lua will be required, already started the work. :)

ps. the comments about normalization etc. were very welcome, gives me  
focus on what _not_ to touch. thanks.
