Dear Jarkko,

I would like to think that Perl 5.8 is going to deliver the Unicode
promise for Perl.

Well for that it would need to be able to do normalisation and Unicode
based sorting as well. But hey, this is comming together nicely.

I have not had a chance to really hammer this thing, but some comments on
the really nice Encoding stuff:

1. Any chance of exposing the powerful Encoding::XS stuff so that other
mappings can use it from binary config files?
2. It looks to me like Encoding::Tcl is re-reading the .enc file every time
one calls encode() or decode(). Any chance of caching the
Encoding::Tcl::Table (perhaps replacing the Encoding::Tcl object with it)
instead?

Martin
