Comment(by ashinn):

 The unicode-char-sets module is so named because it doesn't
 have anything to do with utf8 - it could theoretically be
 used with an egg that provided utf16 or euc-jp or whatever
 encoding for Chicken.  In that respect it should probably
 be provided as a separate egg (which utf8 would depend on).

 More generally, though, we should have a policy for subextensions.
 Just using substring match seems like a bad idea.  I think
 either the "parent" extension should track its subextensions,
 or once installed they should only be removable separately.
