The original comment that I responded to said this: > On a practical matter, it seems like a bad idea to have codepoints that can take up to an arbitrary number of bytes - this just screams buffer overflow problems. My response was that I don't see "it would be hard to write correct code for this in C" to be a particularly useful objection. I'm honestly a bit confused by the reaction to my comments because it seems that every new reply seems to have an orthogonal objection to the previous one, but none of them seem to be actually addressing the point I've been trying to make.
