We did for both unicode, and for multi-tty. Once the code was usable on 
GNU/Linux and at least compilable and didn't break on all other 
platforms (which involved removing Carbon support, because noone wanted 
to work on it), it was merged back to the trunk.

We should probably aim to keep the branch period short, but it would be 
useful to check what you have now into a new branch so others can try it 
before it goes on the trunk.
