[gnu.bash.bug] when is bash going to be more international?

Dan@dna.lth.se (Dan Oscarsson) (11/21/89)

bash is not 8-bit transparent!
If I am going to start using bash it must support
8-bit character sets. The bash code as well as a lot
of other code is full of stupid use of the 8th bit in
bytes for quoting and other things.

Please start thinking that characters are at least 8-bit long even
if you are americans.

In bash 1.04 you can bind an input string to a edit function.
Can you bind an input string to a string?

Also does bash support overwrite mode in editing the input line?
I need that too.
