[plt-scheme] Encodings

What I need is to read Scheme source files that countain accents in the 
comments, in their textual output and in strings used in the GUI. In a 
dream world, any source file would have its own encoding, so that 
different Scheme developpers can use different encodings, system 
locales and text editors (eg DrScheme and Emacs), and of course no 
change would be needed to upgrade from v200 to v300.

I just messed up a friend's Java source files editing them with both 
Emacs and JBuilder, so I want to avoid that :)

I would like to test the Unicode support, so I precise my question. Is 
it tagged, or should I checkout the HEAD?

Thanks,
