Also the hacked version of slang has been known to give rise to random
coredumps in both jed and slrn.

S-Lang 2 will have native support for UTF-8 at all levels.  Right now
I am busy finishing up the support for UTF-8 by all the interpreter's
string functions, e.g., strtrim, strtrans, etc... See
http://www.jedsoft.org/images/jedutf8.png for an image of what one
will be able to do with S-Lang 2 and UTF-8 enabled jed.
