I see it.  All we need to do to make this work is say that Modula-3 
programs are encoded in Unicode.  That and some work under the hood so 
make it work.

Well, I'm from the Latin-1 world.  I've had to debug a compiler that was 
mistreating Korean strings (this was before Unicode), and I've written a 
program that used UTF-8 hiragana.  But I only visit the nonLatin-1 
world.  I don't live there.
