[Encore] unicode and $ as a position locator

[Daniel Jung]

Hi

I posted this question a while ago, but the problem still remains.
I'm trying again.

EnCore 5 uses Matthieu Fenniac's lambdamoo 1.8.1u4 unicode patch. 
Unfortunately, there seems to be an error in string computation

(1) when using $ as a position locator, and, subsequently,
(2) when using substitute() after a match().

index(), rindex() and match() seem to work fine elsewise.


EXAMPLES

    "abc"[$] => "c"
    "åbc"[$] => ""

    substitute("%2", match("*** abc def ghi!!!", "%(%w*%) def %(%w*%)"))
    => "ghi"

    substitute("%2", match("*** abc def gåi!!!", "%(%w*%) def %(%w*%)"))
    => "g"


Has anyone found a workaround or made a patch for that - or is anyone up 
to the challenge?

Thanks:
- Daniel
