Hi,

As a simpler to implement approach to Unicode, could we perhaps support it just by adding an “is
UTF-8” flag to strings internally? Then unmodified functions would just see a normal string and
handle it like they do any other, and modified and new Unicode-aware functions would test for the
presence of the flag and handle the string appropriately in that case.

Thoughts?
