    Personally I'd wonder about this. I can understand the desire to shave bytes
    off in-memory, but given a lot of platforms having issues with non-32 bit
    boundaries and the resulting performance or alignment issues I seriously
    wonder if it is worth the trade off of not just using UCS4 internally.
