Re: [Unicode] Update of page 'Multilingual Squeak'

Hi Hannes,

It's looking like we should be able to conflate a bunch of existing
facilities and code.  The various Smalltalks seem to have approached
Unicode like the old story of the blind men describing an elephant.

There are lots of components when are usefully described and dealt
with, and if we can just put them all together it'll will be less new
work, and we should get a more portable outcome, and a more robust
solution.
