Yes, possible future is that Unicode rules, except a few field where
it's not appropriate.  But even if code conversion hell remains, it
will be a good reason for CPU makers to keep increasing power anyway.

|Thanking Matz for his informative posts on this subject

Fortunately and unfortunately, Japanese must meet multibyte strings
and multiple encodings everyday from historical reason.  M17N is the
biggest contribution from Japan in the computer field.  I want Ruby to
be another one. ;-)
