Re: predicate->char-set considered harmful Brad Lucier 18 Dec 2000 21:19 UTC

My unstated (definitely understated) point is that predicate->bitset
will never return in the general case, which isn't much different from
how long it will take predicate->char-set to return on systems that use
a four-byte character representation.
