convertToSloveneChars. Bug?

Ni hao Jim,


Method #convertToSloveneChars is implemented as extension of String (see
Aida-Extensions) and therefore it must work. See if the method is there
and that it works.

....
For my language it is simple, we have only 3 non-ASCII letters: č š and
ž. I put text elsewhere in code simply as c^ s^ z^, then above mentioned
method convert this in to a real Unicode string.

[....]

Hi Jim,

Please try this patch, maybe it will help:

String>>convertToSloveneChars
    "convert csz string with ^ as 'sumnik' to proper unicode string.
    Only pure ASCII strings are converted!"
    "'Mivs^ek' convertToSloveneChars"
    | in out ch |
    self class == ByteString ifFalse: [^self].
    in := self readStream. out := WriteStream on: String new.
    [in atEnd] whileFalse:
     ...

As you can see only pure ASCII strings are trying to be converted, so
that Chinese strings won't be counted, because are TwoByteStrings already.

Well, who doesn't like to hear such a praise :) I'm specially proud that
  Aida works for a whole world already, without much problems. And those
problems are easy solvable. For instance, just recently we
added/finished international Url support to Aida, see
