A much saner choice, I should say, after reading both Squeak and Scratch 
sources. Bytes are strictly for memory objects and have no place in higher 
level code. Higher level codes should only deal with encoded bytes - integer, 
character (ASCII), string (ASCII), utf8string (UTF8) etc.

Nicolas, why "if it becomes that important" qualifier for UTF-8? Wake up :-).
