Nice.

I haven't tried it out yet, but,...

I noticed you stripped out the code that prints combining accents
as attached to dotted circles (#\◌̀ instead of #\̀). I thought that
was a rather nice feature.

I have a script that I used to check string and char input/output.
I'll try to test it out in the next couple of days.

Thanks,

Mike
