My point exactly (that no external yet-another library should be required). The goal for me would be UTF-8 only, boldly ignoring the issues with existing data in other encodings. For that, a couple of patching points within Lua will be required, already started the work. :) ps. the comments about normalization etc. were very welcome, gives me focus on what _not_ to touch. thanks.

You're right, those that really need to have the full
story like support for each and all normal forms with
all special cases in all locales and multi level sorting
and whatnot should consider linking ICU, as it's fairly
complete and efficient.
But where size does matter, it's two orders of magnitude to fat.
cheers
