>>52 So you accept that building unicode into the language didn't help with sorting?

>>51 The programmer has to use clumsy libraries anyway. They just think they don't because they think having unicode built into the language is making fewer problems when it is infact making more.

The onus isn't on me to demonstrate the non-usefulness of a non-feature, it's for you to demonstrate the usefulness of a feature; I said arc lacking unicode doesn't matter but you seem to think it does.

You think it's easy
You think it lets you do something you couldn't otherwise
You think it's saving you time
You think it's more elegant

Not only have I provided a demonstration that none of these are true, I've gone better to demonstrate it's a good place to hide bugs and that the use is often unexpected.
