Subject: Re: My impressions about Ruby

Unicode support does not necessarily replace all standard Japanese
text encodings, and given that Ruby probably still has more users in
Japan than anywhere else, it seems a bit rash to demand that Matz
break support for many commonly-used Japanese charsets.

UTF-8 in the core would be nice, though.
