Interesting document. I was reading the Unicode part this morning
trying to understand why a problem I had in 10.4.10, last year, is now
non-reproducible in 10.4.11 and 10.5.4.
And it's a confusing document ...
First it says: "There is no longer a distinction between Unicode and
non-Unicode text. There is exactly one text class, named “text”"
Then it says: "with no as parameter, as text, or as string, they use
the primary encoding; with as Unicode text, they use UTF-16."
So 'text' = "primary encoding" (what ever that is), which isn't Unicode.
And, finally, it says: "string and Unicode text are still defined, but
are considered synonyms for text".
So, now we are back to Unicode = text.
I'm still confused.
