Corentin to provide an overview and frown while the rest of us quibble about transcoding details and locale encodings and, probably, reluctantly, conclude that the behavior Corentin has proposed is how things should be.

Hijacking the agenda thread...

The wording in the paper contains a number of occurrences of the list
"Unicode character type, charT, bool".
Can we give that a name, e.g. "formattable character type and bool"?
