I don't have many request. My request is simple: Editors which
cannot be used should not have the highest priority.
Editors with which we cannot input or display letters are obviously
useless.
For multibyte-language speakers, 8bit editors are useless, just like
non-8bit-clean editors are useless for most European people.
