Re: Char-related crashes (hopefully) fixed

Hrvoje> Mule breaks too much to be worthy of so much consideration Hrvoje> at this level. I see it differently: Mule breaks too much to not get fixed. Mule breaks so much that it needs to be fixed by design, not by patching a few weak spots. The questions are what needs to be fixed and how, in what order. Life would be a lot easier for Mule fixers if there were no int-char. You and Kyle are rightly objecting to that as a burden on the traditional (ASCII -> Latin-1) developer/user base. So I'm looking for a compromise. But because there are fundamental design problems in the current Mule, we need to think about the transition to a sensible design. That is going to break things; but if handled well the transition can be a minimal burden. One simple fix is to remove Mule. Of course I'll object to that, but that's certainly an option for the XEmacs community.
