The inability to use chunks is probably my biggest gripe right now  
(well, that and no Unicode file names).

I also wish it was easier to read a UTF16 files that have a different  
byte order than the OS you are running on.  It looks like you have to  
swap the bytes yourself in order to read the file.

Another thing is no UTF16 support in externals.  I'm pretty sure this  
is on the radar to fix but for externals like Valentina 2 you have to  
convert to/from UTF8 to get data between the external and the Rev  
environment.  This is less than efficient.
