You aren't telling us anything we don't know already. Sure, stopping
using UTF-16 strings in situations where it is just ASCII anyway that
is handled is one thing we want to investigate doing eventually. Or
moving to UTF-8 strings even. We are not suffering from a lack of good
(or even crazy) ideas. But ideas are not trivial to implement.
