They'd only be useful on systems that don't support Unicode in source
files, the way digraphs and trigraphs are only useful if you have a
broken keyboard without braces. But they're part of the spec, add
maybe 20 lines of code, and don't slow anything down unless they're
used. Maybe in the Unix port of kencc they'll be wanted.
Besides, the handful of minor patches I've submitted have all been
accepted; it's high time I try something that gets rejected. ☺
