That's relieving.  It sure is an annoyance for anyone who's not on
latin-1.  It's an outright invalid character and as you've seen it's
not easy to even send a patch changing it.  IMHO, if it were something
which couldn't be avoided at all, encoding it using utf-8 would be
much more appropriate.

Thanks.
