Hey man, go ahead.

We support Unicode because our StreamReader or TextReader (or one of
those) is doing the byte to Unicode translation for you.

That was another reason why I liked writting my code in C#, most of
the grunt work for things like Unicode was done in the class
libraries, without me having to get my hands dirty on that.

I do not think it is right now, but this is just because I was lazy on
this particular case.  Can be added, but I rather work right now on
the compiler former.
