the plan 9 model is that all text is utf-8, with the exception of
internal encodings which may be Runes.

is your proposal
- to change programs that take regular expressions to be exceptions to
the plan 9 text model, or
- to change the plan 9 text model
?

either way, i think the bar should be high to change the text model
for plan 9, and higher to make exceptions.
