I too think 16 bit is good enough. 10646 is a 32 bit
standard but given that other than Unicode no other pages
are populated and that Unicode supports all living and many
(most?) dead languages and that except for scholars of dead
languages (a tiny tiny percentage of people) no one else
will benefit *even if* pages beyond Unicode are ever used,
allowing for such extension now is IMHO a waste of space.
rune_t can be made 16 bit, too.
Yes, and I also think that 640kbytes of memory is certainly enough for
anything you would want to do with your computer.
