Wow, that sounds like a great idea! ;-)

Seriously though, there's not much EAstrings can do if you don't know 
the character encoding of your source code. You have to input the right 
encoding, in one way or another, when you first construct an EAstring.

It *would* be possible to work around a defective compiler that 
consistently produces mis-encoded Strings, but you still have to know 
the true encoding (and you'd be in for a surprise if the compiler 
suddenly gets fixed).
