This is getting into complex nightmare city. That's why I'd prefer > to have the basic system just work completely in Unicode. One could have > a separate character system (character and string classes, byte-stream > to char converters, etc.) to work with this tagged format if one wished. But isn't this what matz suggest? Each stream is tagged, that is the same as having different types. It's basically just a different way to store the type while having a lot of common string operations. The only major issues I see are: fixed size characters versus variable length characters - for example UTF-8 versus UCS-4. I think a string class for each type might make sense. I think UTF-8 is universal enough to warrant its own string class, but for fixed size formats, why should it matter what encoding is used? The important thing is that the encoding is stored, possibly along with the byte width of the character. BTW: Unicode is not a fixed with format. It is an almost fixed with format - but there are escape codes and options for future extensions. Hence UCS-4 is a strategy with limited timespan. That's why I prefer UTF-8 - it recognizes the variable length issue up front, yet usually takes up less space than UCS-2 or UCS-4 except if you are from Asia in which case you probably want a different encoding. One other detail about UTF-8 - its really nice to work with as raw 8 bit character. When writing a lexer for UTF-8 you can define anything above 127 to be a letter and A-Za-z to also be a letter. Then you can forget everything about UTF-8 and still parse everything correctly including indentifiers. UCS-2, UCS-4 lexers get bloated or impossible due to the huge lookup. For practical string processing, it is actually very seldom that you actually need to index a character sequence. Normally you simply break the string into pieces instead. You could have a iterator object for the string class which does not care about variable length issues. It cannot index, but it can remember a position even after a string is changed. Mikkel
