Bug Description
FILE-POSITION on character streams returns the byte offset, not the character offset
(the two can be different with unicode characters.)
Test case can be found at
http://
This is conformant, and also technically justifiable.
It would, however, be nice if SBCL exported a function FILE-CHARACTER-
which does the right thing w.r.t. unicode. See
