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.

I do not see any patch anywhere...? :-) If someone feels like writing
the appropiate extension modules (at this late stage I do not see
either entering the core language transparently, no time for that
fight), I wouldn't be opposed to adding such extensions.

But hey, this is coming together nicely.

I hope so.

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?

Nick I-S already answered these.

Martin
