I don't think I made my point clear. Less than 5% of what I'm doing is related to typography (namely: only when displaying text for the end user). 95% of the time when I manipulate text, the text is intended for a computer to process further. I don't want typographic issues such as the proper length of spaces when delimiting keywords on the command line, or proper collation order to slow down my `git grep`, any more than I want to be bothered by variable width fonts when I'm writing code. UTF-8 to compose user visible strings in GUI is a godsend, though.
