More like, Mac OS X has standardized on Unicode and the rest of the

Apple's decision[*] to use _decomposed_ unicode causes all sorts of
little problems because other tools aren't expecting to see strings
changed behind their backs.

I know little about the gritty details, but I see the bug reports...
