We've got fuser, fix some typos, and move Vodz's comment about UTF8 into
a new "internationalization" section, with some related concerns.

Internationalization
|
||||
How much internationalization should we do?
|
||||
|
||||
The low hanging fruit is UTF-8 character set support. We should do this.
|
||||
(Vodz pointed out the shell's cmdedit as needing work here. What else?)
|
||||
|
||||
We also have lots of hardwired english text messages. Consolidating this
|
||||
into some kind of message table not only makes translation easier, but
|
||||
also allows us to consolidate redundant (or close) strings.
|
||||
|
||||
We probably don't want to be bloated with locale support. (Not unless we can
|
||||
cleanly export it from our underlying C library without having to concern
|
||||
ourselves with it directly. Perhaps a few specific things like a config
|
||||
option for "date" are low hanging fruit here?)
|
||||
|
||||
What level should things happen at? How much do we care about
|
||||
internationalizing the text console when X11 and xterms are so much better
|
||||
at it? (There's some infrastructure here we don't implement: The
|
||||
"unicode_start" and "unicode_stop" shell scripts need "vt-is-UTF8" and a
|
||||
--unicode option to loadkeys. That implies a real loadkeys/dumpkeys
|
||||
implementation to replace loadkmap/dumpkmap. Plus messing with console font
|
||||
loading. Is it worth it, or do we just say "use X"?)
