My reason for writing this is not to complain, but just to make sure that *in addition* to welcoming extended character sets into Squeak, we *remain committed* to the value of simplicity and generality in the FileList.

I agree.

The FileList never was a document editor;  it never displayed RTF, and it doesn't need to display international characters.  If we want it to do that, then it must be as an option that leaves inviolate the ability to perform reliable file surgery when necessary.

my agreement that one of the virtues of Filelist has always been that it
"just shows the damn bytes", so to speak.
