I never said not work. I said "how to make a code on Windows _safe_,
readable and _strong_".
[[ IMHO ]], use functions at all over the code to convert strings is
not safe -- according to my criteria -- and, if is not safe, isn't
strong. But I can be wrong.

Ah, Ok! I'm the wrong person now?? I'm the ONLY person talking about
"Unicode, the forbidden topic"?
Why don't you talk like that for ALL people that said something about it?

I learned something. Maybe others learned something too. This worth
for something.
But Okay, let's give peace for all.
