 Well I dont know what I did, but some time ago I did some tinkerimg.
 What surprises me is that almost half the exotic characters do resolve to the
 proper glyphs in my terminal emulator.

 Things like UTF-8 4 can be manipulated with much hassle. But I still maintain,
 that in the xlat implementation in Golded it should be UTF-8 2. As that is
 the type of translation table that is used. If the CHSRS character family is
 fixed to a translation table type, then that type is redundant and has no
 use.

 There is no implementation of xlat for type 4 translations as far as I know.
 Where proper translation is done, a different method is used and the '4' is
 irrelevant.

 My aguments sound familear, we must be a yearly pet peeve.
