I'm asking nothing to students, ISE is. But since they
will do something anyway, let's avoid duplicating effort.
The more code that can be shared by various different
Eiffel compilers the more interoperability we get. ISE
made a mistake reinventing the wheel with their own
incompatible version of Xace, let's try to avoid
another mistake with the implementation of Unicode.

The main advantage that these students have compared
to the original development of Gobo is that they can
change the implementation of at least one Eiffel
compiler (I said "at least" because nowadays all
Eiffel compilers are open source, although not all
are open development).
