Okay, thanks! (Are you happy with this in 5.7.3?)
Well, for 5.7.3, yes. But for 5.8.0, I think we still have a lot
todo. Let me list'em up before my body temperature hits 39 degrees
centigrade...
* rename 'compile' to something else more appropriate so we can install
in $INSTALLSCRIPT
* stress testing on (CN|TW|KR)
* TRUE ISO-2022 handling
And features missing compared to Jcode.pm
* Encoding detection
This reminds me: we shoul probably have some user-accessible method of
detection of the Unicode encodings, too: UTF-8 (well, this is really
guessing, at least without a BOM, "does this look like valid UTF-8 to
you"), but BOMs and UTF-16-foo, and UTF-32-foo.
* MIME header encoding
And the obvious
* decent documentation (especially JP|CN|KR|TW)
* distribution scheme of coding tables (enc? ucm? precompiled?)
But I think we should release 5.7.3 soon so more people test'em....
Soon.
