In the above, by ``without interfering'' I meant that it will not make
Kenichi's work harder when the Unicode branch is merged.

I don't see any way of zero interference, as long as there's a branch
(actually, two of them) waiting to be merged RSN.  But I think
installing ``heavy changes'' in the Unicode branch will tend to
minimize the interference.
