have the relevant portions of the Latin-2 table memorized, and I see
no reason why that shouldn't be accessible this way if Latin-1 is.
We lose nothing by allowing Latin 2 this way. The accessibility of
other charsets should be solved systematically, e.g. by allowing \u
for Unicode.
I have this funny feeling that nobody really wants the meaning of
say ?\xB0 to depend on which coding system or language environment
is currently in effect.
Agreed.
