Thanks for the answers, Florian. Yes I was following the thread on 
ruby-core too, but forgot that this is ruby-talk.

I have created the first draft in RubyGarden:

  http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?UnicodeInRuby2

It's very raw and bare-bones (plus I'm an ASCII guy and totally clueless 
regarding multibyte/Unicode). I invite people to improve on it.

Thanks.
