"people nowadays" don't speak with one voice.

I may well be a minority, but I don't have a need to support
Unicode. I'm more interested in a modified VISCII than
Unicode.

fgetc() won't hang on a single character in either case.

And I consider it to be useful, even if I am literally alone,
and remain alone forever. I can't prove that I'm alone
though. I have no idea who is "out there".
