I really wonder why this has suddenly become such a big issue.

In practice, these things have worked fine for ages, so why bother _now_
when we should focus on finalizing the release of 22.1 ?

IIRC, the current issue was raised because someone suggested to add \u
and \U for unicode to the Lisp reader -- something we have also lived
without for ages.

I would suggest to leave the entire issue for after the release!

Then everything will be solved the right way, as we will migrate to
unicode internally for 23.x.
