Let me say publically that I think you have done a fine job, and
obviously have put lots of thought and effort into it.  If parts of
the design turn out to be less than ideal (and subsequently changed
before 1.6 is real) then this will not detract from your excellent
work.

Well done!

[And also to Fredrik, whose code was the basis for the Unicode
object itself - that was a nice piece of code too!]

Aww-heck-I-love-all-you-guys-<wink>-ly,

Mark.
