RFC: interactions between "use bytes", "use locale", and "use feature 'unicode_strings'
I am waiting for blead to reopen before I submit a patch for extending
feature unicode_strings to matching \s, and \w. In documenting it, it
occurred to me that the existing implementation is wrong, along with the
existing interaction between use bytes and use locale.
To refresh your memory, "use feature 'unicode_strings'" is supposed to
mean that even non-utf8 data is to be considered to have Unicode
semantics. In practice, this only affects the characters from 128-255.
It is new in 5.12, and is implemented there only on functions that
change case, such as ucfirst(), and s/.../\L...\E/.
The implementation is that it is always subservient to 'use bytes' and
'use locale'. Thus, in
use bytes;
code 1
{
use feature "unicode_strings"
code 2
}
code 3
byte semantics is used throughout. It seems to me that instead unicode
semantics should be used in code 2; byte semantics in codes 1 and 3.
Similarly with locale; unicode_strings is subservient to that, and I
think they should behave instead as I just suggested for bytes.
And, I think that bytes and locale should similarly override each other,
which they don't currently.
I believe that the implementation of hint_bits must currently stack it,
so that when an interior block is popped, the value for the outer block
is automatically restored.
Any comments?

Using SQLAnywhere 5.5.04, I've gotten into the habit of using "||" in ISQL to indicate a string concatenation. I needed to paste my SQL statement into the PowerBuilder script painter for some embedded SQL, and PB didn't like the "||" very much at all. I changed it to "+" and it seems to be ok. Do these two operators indicate ~exactly~ the same thing? moin, afaik these two's are not the same! if you're using "||" and any term is NULL then in the resultstring the term will be ignored if you use "+" then the resu...

What to use instead of "cin" and "cout" which VCL doesn't use
I want to ask the user their name which I will then put on a label. There may be a better way but in the meantime I have used a TextOut message to Ask for their name and then put a memo box at the end of the sentence, which I find they can type into, I think. Question is How can I get or where to I find what they typed so I can put it in my label storage. I notice that there is a "Lines" property for Memo that say TString and if you click on it you get a code editor. I have been reading for days but I can figure out where to go from here.
