Again, are you arguing for or against your own proposals?  The _only_
purpose of such string literals is to support generating UTF-8 encoded
strings in the executable even when the source file is _not_ encoded in
UTF-8.

So you argue because C11 contains a feature for supporting source files
_not_ encoded in UTF-8, Emacs should support only source files encoded
in UTF-8?

If anything, this is somewhat of an argument for GDB to preferably
interpret C strings as being encoded in UTF-8 even when the source code
encoding of a C file appears to be different.

We are not talking about editing executables here.  We are talking about
editing source files.
