6 /* We need to be able to pass UTF-8 strings to and from libguile. The
7 * most forward-compatible way to do this is to explicitly use the
8 * "utf8" API for doing so, but this API is only available from Guile
9 * 2.0 onwards.
11 * In Guile 2.0 there is a similar "locale" API which encodes/decodes
12 * strings differently based on the locale, so we need to avoid it in
13 * case the user decides to set a non-UTF-8 locale. However, the
14 * "locale" API *is* present in Guile 1.8, in which it doesn't attempt
15 * to encode/decode the strings its passed, so we can use it as a
16 * direct replacement for the "utf8" API.
18 * Confused yet?
