Have just been browsing in Python Land and have seen
how they deal with unicode chars & strings and low
and behold it seems that the "u" prefix is how they
solve the unicode syntax problem.

So to keep as much REBOL compatability as possible
for PRIMO here is my latest suggestions for PRIMO
syntax for chars & strings & unicode * immutables
etc.

>> type? #"A"
== char!

>> type? #'A"
== unicode-char!

>> type? "" ; or {}
== string! ; ascii

>> type? ."" ; or .{}
== immutable-string!

>> type? u"" ; or u{}
== unicode-string!


>> type? .u"" ; or .u{}
== immutable-unicode-string!

>> type? []
== block!

>> type? .[]
== immutable-block!

This way deeply quoted strings etc would work just as
they currently do in REBOL and much compatibility could
be retained.

Is everyone agreeable?

cheers,
