Re: unicode, utf, multibyte?

John and JEDders,

What is your opinion about the UTF-8 patch by Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS
<edmundo@xxxxxxxx> for slang?  The debian slang has been struggling with
this for ages (mostly due to an incorrect assumption about binary
compatibility); these struggles now SEEM to be over.  I now have the choice
to build a set of JED packages that link with the UTF-8 slang as well.
John, do you know this patch?  Do you trust it?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Charl
