We are keeping the Unicode as it is and asking it to support code
pages within say 25% of the allocations. That is entirely different to
making all Unicode as code page switchable.
We will have plenty of time inour hand to avoid any disasters, as we are not
touching the primary purpose while adding unlimited!!! support.
