  Not at all. I am already using it. Just typing into.

  What does not work and I am not using it "length in glyphs". Not
important for me, but not hard to implement. Either directly in Modula-3
or using external C lib.

  Search for UTF-8 pattern in UTF-8 text works - of course. Also -
partitioning of TEXT's by *any real* criteria. By position of CHAR, or
by position of any substring.
