Well that's not strictly the case, when double byte characters are
being input Cocoa goes into a special mode. You can tell this since the
text has a line under it and is not officially "entered" until the user
presses the enter key. So there is a difference on the input side for
Double Byte characters - All I need to know is if that mode is active
or not..
