[bug #59397] Assign default .hcode values to alphabetic characters in groff's default character set

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #59397 (project groff):

A test case to illustrate the problem:


$ cat test.59397
.hy 4
.ll 1u
resume
r\['e]sum\['e]
$ nroff -Wall test.59397 | uniq
re-
sume
résumé



(The output is the same whether the last line of the input file is expressed
as above (using groff escapes for the accented characters), or with Latin-1
characters as "résumé".)

The user can correct the hyphenation of the second word by adding a .hcode
request to the top of the file:


.hcode \['e] e


But groff natively accepts Latin-1 as input, so it ought to correctly
hyphenate by default words that use any letters from this character set.
