Follow-up Comment #3:

Agree about postponing, and I think you should start a discussion on the
maintainers mailing list about assumptions of default file encodings and the
load path and so on. At least when I first saw this bug report I wasn't
exactly clear on what the problem even is, since I'm GNU/Linux-centric and I
just assume every file is UTF-8 encoded, no problem. So I think to a lot of
developers this is very much a foreign concept and needs some general
understanding about the implications.
