Unicode support
finish byte <-> utf8 and localencoding <-> utf8 conversions
make substr($bytestr,0,0,$charstr) do the right conversion
- a way to set default disciplines for all handle constructors:
use open IN => ":any", OUT => ":utf8", SYS => ":utf16"
eliminate need for "use utf8;"
- autoload utf8_heavy.pl's swash routines in swash_init()
autoload byte.pm when byte:: is seen by the parser
check uv_to_utf8() calls for buffer overflow
