Thanks Dale, I wasn't aware.

If by chance there is a future 3.1.0.7 is there a chance to have such
primitive integrated?

I have just tried: https://github.com/GsDevKit/Grease/issues/2
Wow....I have just tried that, and in my case, it produced a performance
improvement of 4x. My table rendering decreased from 4s to 1s approx.
Then I tried adding some none ascii characters like:

An preost wes on leoden, Laȝamon was ihoten
He wes Leovenaðes sone -- liðe him be Drihten.
He wonede at Ernleȝe at æðelen are chirechen,
Uppen Sevarne staþe, sel þar him þuhte,
Onfest Radestone, þer he bock radde.

and they were correctly displayed. So I guess it is working correctly (else
I don't know what easy other stuff to test).


I'm in the final throes of fixing a whole a pile of Metacello bugs[4], but
