Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, no doubt a utf-8 aware regexp library
would be needed.
To turn around what I said about glibc, glibc in the right setlocale
does it, but I think it'd depend on having and finding a utf-8 locale
that's been enabled in locale.gen (or wherever). Switching back and
forward with setlocale would no doubt be as horrible as the same thing
we do with tzset, though when I measured it setlocale was pretty fast
(unlike tzset).

I'd probably only go so far as help someone link to a decent library,
a "--with" option on configure or whatever. Non-posix libc would
probably hurt many programs so you could argue guile needn't try too
hard to overcome it.

That sounds good as an add-on.
