Re: gcc identifiers

It would be vastly simpler to simply rule that .c .cc .h
etc, files are in utf-8 always, regardless of locale.


Well, you should not forget that the day you have UTF-8 accepted
in identifiers, you should have the following tools able to process
any UTF-8 char, including supposedly from keyboard (unless you
want to upset people with UCNs):
  - standalone cpp
  - as
  - ld
  - nm
  - the bfd library, including all the cross-platforms problems
  - the debuggers (all of them!)
  - probably yacc/clone and lex/clone as well, since there is no
     good reason to kept them with ASCII id.
  - and all the ones I am missing
