Unicode support in Hugs - alpha-patch available

[Dimitry Golubovsky]

OK, I see where I am wrong - thanks for pointing me out.

I would agree with Ross that it is better to embed some minimal 
information about characters (case conversion, category) into the Hugs 
core because almost every program needs them, and the rest (like 
directionality, composition, etc.) might be implemented later for 
programs that really would need that in some special way.
