Hmm, so how are characters outside that range represented ? Are they
in UTF-8 ?

Could we not treat the argument as if it were UTF-8, which is then backwards
compatible with ASCII and doesnt require an extra interface ?

Just some speculations - I have my own set of ObjC foundation classes I
wrote to use at work, and I keep things in UTF-8 for
convenienece, which seems to workO.K. I havent llooked at how to communicate
this to PS though.
