Can't remember whether unicode strings have come up. What's the status of this?
Well, I guess they didn't: I didn't know (until you asked the question) how Java internally encodes Unicode. So, what I didn't know is that Java supports "supplementary characters" [characters outside the BMP].
I guess we have a need to implement "codepoint strings" or something alike: a means to make sure every character in a string is actually a full character.
Thanks for pointing this out. Yesterday after I sent this mail, I realised we need a separate thread: "Beyond 0.18: determining the ABCL roadmap". How about making this one of the things on our roadmap?
Regards,
Erik.

Today, I branched for 0.17 (to be released soon), meaning that trunk has become free for 0.18 development.
Personally, I found there are a number of items open any one of which could become part of our 0.18 effort. These are the points I identified:
- Investigate and improve startup performance
- CLOS conformance improvements (including define-method-combination support?)
- Cleanup of Load.java - which would allow loading compressed fasls off streams
- Gray stream compatibility finalization [we're 99% compatible, but
FUNDAMENTAL-STREAM should be recognized as a subtype of STREAM]
- Some random other stuff that comes along
Do you have your own, or opinions on the points I mentioned above? Let's hear it!
Bye,
Erik.
