For Windows users, I believe it will nearly double the memory footprint if there are any non-BMP chars. On my new machine, I should not mind that in exchange for correct behavior.

In addition, strings with non-BMP chars are much more rare than strings with all Latin-1, for which memory usage halves on Windows.

Regards, Martin
