Thanks for the help, and Martin too.
This should get us started.

Flex is not currently able to help you do this. But flex won't get in
your way. You'd just have to describe the unicode stuff as regular
expressions involving bytes--which is not pretty and in the long-term
probably not what you want.
There's been sustained interest in unicode and friends but there are
some technical issues with any potential flex implementation. It's
on
the list of issues to be addressed, but it's not the highest
priority. And at this time, I don't know what form the addressing of
this issue will take.
