While I'd love to throw away the code I've written for surrogates, I
suspect that the update Rick is talking about affect functionality
beyond the String class and char primitive - that other parts of Java
are learning to deal with surrogates.  It's been a while since I looked
into this in depth, though.

That's still a good thing, though it's not precisely what I'd like to
have.
