This one has been interesting:

AppleScript  has moved to 16 bit unicode as perhaps it, and everyone else, should. Just what would perl-5 do if  "use unicode" was in vogue above?

And just what does the verb capitalize mean in unicode anyway? Are there tables somewhere? Does that \u above understand right to left languages? I don't think one can add (ord('a') - ord('A')) to effect a capitalization in any general way.
