Re: [TCLCORE] Unicode in Tcl 9 - a commentary and critique

I really like this idea. It also adds the option of turning flags off (eg {strict 0})

The value of "-encoding" could be a dictionary:
        chan configure $chan -encoding {name utf-8 strict 1 surrogates 0 ...}
If the number of items in the list is odd, "name" could be implied:
        chan configure $chan -encoding {utf-8 strict 1 surrogates 0 ...}

        chan configure $chan -encoding utf-8
