>  Folks,
>
>  We have been discussing this quite a bit the last few days in IRC and the
>  consensus seems to be that this RFC is a positive step towards broader
>  unicode/character set support with the understanding that there are lots of
>  other details that will need to be addressed one day.
>
>  One thing that Andrey mentioned is the ICU project as a possible alternate
>  back end instead of iconv():
>
>   http://www.icu-project.org/
>
>  On review it seems to support (at least most) iconv() character set names
>  so it seems like it would be pretty easy to switch iconv() out for ICU in
> the
>  future if we wanted to.
>
>  I'll open voting with a +1.
