Yes. This thing is *extremely* annoying. You can cut and paste any string to
anything, but you cannot do it in squeak. There's no point in making
complicated things when you cannot do what even the stupidest text editor
does. Most of the planet does NOT speak English. Most of the planet needs
string content that is not in Latin chars. So most of the planet has no use
for squeak.

I love Smalltalk, but this is a fact and it's going to put off people until
it gets solved.
