Well, I suppose the existence of that library is a good thing, but after 
reading the introduction in unicode.ads I have to wonder whether it's 
them or me who have misunderstood Unicode. It mentions "Utf32 Latin1" 
and "Utf8 Latin2" strings. This looks really weird to me. You don't 
encode Latin-1 in UTF-32 or Latin-2 in UTF-8. You encode Unicode in 
UTF-8 or UTF-32, or you encode a subset of Unicode in Latin-1, or 
another subset in Latin-2.
