If SQL99's I18N staffs would be added in 7.3, it means both the
multibyte support and the locale support might disappear, then 2might
be merged into it (not sure about NLS. is that compatible with, for
example, per column charset?)
So, for none multibyte users, the multibyte support would be
one-release-only-functionality: suddenly appears in 7.2 and disappears
in 7.3. I'm afraid this would cause more troubles rather than
usefullness.
What do you think?
