IMO it requires significant maintenance efforts. For example, we have been working on a new UTF-8 IO layer. Adding UTF-EBCDIC support to that is enough work that I'd qualify it as a rewrite (validation and translation are fundamentally different problems). Not that the current :utf8 DWIMs on UTF-EBCDIC… I don't think it costs now if we don't touch any unicode related code, but we probably will. LeonThread Previous | Thread Next
