Some trade-offs between native vs. library implementations.

  • Native:

    • UTF-8 in Char-literals.
    • Requires C++ API for use with C++ extensions.

  • Library:

    • No messy integration with the compiler.
    • No reasonable way to make use of it in C++ extensions, since it won't translate well to to the other primitive types.
