    This is probably not the forum for language wars. However, I will
    defend C++ as a viable language for Unicode programming. I have
    written a library that performs all four forms of normalization,
    upper/lowercase conversions, collation using the default Unicode
    collation element table (no tailoring just yet), and conversion
    between the various UTF's and Windows' little-endian UTF-16.
    Internally I use an unsigned int to hold code points, avoiding the
    uncertainty of wchar_t.
