No, I miswrote, I meant "mule-ucs is the only option".

God I hate half-ass implementations.  Their fucking toolbar and image
support is similarly at a pre-natal stage of nervous system development.
Why do we have to synch to this shit instead of the other way around?
There Is NO Justice!

Actually, the primitive function is character-to-ucs.  I'm not sure
where char-ucs comes from.

As for whether we'll use encode-char, that depends on what GNU plans
to do, if indeed they're planning anything at all and not just playing
it by ear.  If you ask them before I do (seems pretty likely), please
CC me, as I would like to synch to their API if it's sane (and if not,
try to influence it, although I had no luck on `split-string').  I'll
do the same for you if it works out the other way around.
