utf-8 is an exchange format and that's mostly how it's used.
the few programs that do any analysis on utf-8 in memory
do so usually as a side effect of whatever else is going on.
for instance, they might call cleanname() or some other
such file name-processing routine.
his criticisms are on target but building utf-8 routines is
not intellectually challenging, nor is it a big job.
in short, it doesn't really matter.
