The proposed standard wording appears to only talk about the case of the
delimiter consisting of "one single-byte character". $'\xc2' is not a
valid UTF-8 character so my interpretation is that they are leaving this
undefined.

Behaviour that treats the input as raw bytes for a raw byte delimiter
is consistent. This retains compatibility with the way things
work for a non-multibyte locale. Not all files are valid UTF-8 and it
can be useful to force things to work at a raw byte level.

The only alternative I can think of would be to print an error for the
delimiter. Did you have something else in mind?

Oliver
