i don't think that sort of absolutist thinking really works.
i used gnu grep (and all the other gnu tools) on utf-8 stuff
from the time of the first sam release for unix till i stopped using
linux for much development. i never had a problem with
g(ed|sed|awk|e?grep) tripping on utf-8 when the local was
unset or "C". i did keep in mind that . wasn't going to match
"☺", though.
we all know the limitations of our tools. that doesn't make
them broken.
just because plan 9 does bad things if you exceed NPROCS,
doesn't make it broken.
