I agree with Ondrej. Why?

The question we should all be asking ourselves here is:

	"What can we do to make it *easier* to maintain these files?"

Making everyone write in Unicode code points is not easier.

Joseph, Ondrej, and myself agree that we should find a way to just make
these files UTF-8. I expect that a precondition is going to be to add
an unremovable C.UTF-8 locale, which I think is important.

Cheers,
Carlos.
