[Seaside] convert from quad-byte single or double quote characters to single byte?

[Paul DeBruicker]

Hi Johan,

It's not a Seaside bug.  GemStone's version of CharacterCollection>>#match:
(aka #squeakMatch:) doesn't work when instances of Unicode16 strings are
used as the "pattern". At least while searching through instances of
CharacterCollection.  I thought it would be easier to drop or convert the
smart quotes and convert the object to String because the possible search
domain is known/limited.

But you're right as there are whitespace and other characters that someone
may enter.  I'll see what makes sense to do. 


Thanks

Paul
