[RFC] Octave and internationalization

[CdeMills]

Hello,

a recurrent topic on this list and #octave is how to use accentuated letters
and special symbols in Octave. I started a specific page on the wiki [1],
stating the evolution of encoding, the main norms, how it works as of today,
as well as plans for future development.

IMHO utf-8 support should be easy to achieve, it is a matter of ensuring
that every char manipulation is 8-bits clean. Locales and complete support
(isalpha, strlen, manipulating two strings with different encoding) is
another story.

Could the persons interested please complete ? We should define the needs,
their priority, and have a idea about the complexity of the implementations.

Regards

Pascal
