Why not just a collection of code points (i.e. Integers) for the
strings?  I think this is how VW does it.   Surely the wide/narrow
thing is an encoding problem and that would be addressed with UTF8 or
something if that ilk.

... and then on the Unicode front we need to cover the issues of
locale, collating sequences etc. that Phillipe raised at ESUG.
