I like your ideas, Casimiro. And a lot of boring work, as you would call, but I call it maintenance, has to be done. Internationalization is among the point that prevents me to use Squeak.
Ian, would it be possible you send me a list of what things _you_ need for internationalization. That would be very interesting in a current project.
For Seaside #leadingChar is a PITA because there is no way of knowing the language of the content the user entered. And it's a rampant layering violation. And it probably contributes to WideStrings being so slow. And it's not portable. And ....
And don't get me "but we need it for fonts". The only way to get nice fonts in Squeak is to avoid it and do it in C with char*.
