Sounds good, I'm not opposed to such a change. Will you write the change? Out of curiosity, what is the state shift character in CP1255? I couldn't see one at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1255. In theory there's a problem with the interpretation of shift characters, especially locking shifts in the Info format, because you have to ask what the shift state should be for things like the "File:" keyword. Probably not a real problem though - Info files in encodings like ISO-2022-JP probably don't exist.
