Ok, the class starts: Behdad is completely right, the only difference
between UCS-4 and UTF-32 is that UCS-4, being an ISO 10646 beast, has an
upper limit of up to 0x7FFFFFFF, but UTF-32, a Unicode beast, has an upper
limit of 0x0010FFFF. But since ISO 10646 has explicitly stated that any
character allocation beyond U+10FFFF will be avoided as much as possible,
they are practically the same.
