I WILL.
I want to be able to mention Henry Charri{e grave}re and
Stanis{l stroke}aw Lem in a single document and spell those names
correctly. Actually, that's a real world example. I already do on a web
page, and of course this is only possible because of the underlying
Unicode character set of HTML.
I want to be able to give a book title in Cyrillic or Greek.
I want to be able to quote from _Beowulf_.
I *desperately* want to use IPA rather than various ad-hoc ASCII
transcriptions.
