That's rubbish. You're an idiot playing with social signals, that's all.

Maybe, maybe not. Since *all* your technical assertions have been wrong 
so far, I take this new assertion with a grain of salt (to put it 
mildly). However, as noted in the first blog post in that series, g++ 
has only C level support for Microsoft's _O_U8TEXT mode.

I think other readers understand that it's not possible to have 
discussed every issue in detail in the middle of a series of postings 
addressing the problem area. It would be a variation of Zeno's paradox.

But I think other readers understand that when I mentioned e.g. g++'s 
limited support, it was because I knew about it, because I have done 
everything that I write about, not because I (like you, so far) guessed 
that that might be the case and treated the plausible guess as a fact.

Yes, that's right, and I'm baffled reading something you have written 
that makes sense.
