I would prefer ICU being an optional thing. If my application is fully
Unicode-based (like with Cocoa), I do not need ICU at all. Why I would like
to increase the download size of my application of 3.5MB? (Ok say 1.6
compressed)...

What you need to do is a normal API, which is all in Unicode and a side API
(facultative), which require ICU.
