All 8-bit code points should be allowed and transmitted transparently
(no error, truncating high bits or changing codes).

Main reason was that AXIOMsys used special codes when communicating
with HyperDoc -- this is now disabled (only normal characters
are in use).

Probably.  But to be sure requires some testing, in particular
we need to test all Lisp flavours (OK, AFAIK gcl is always
8-bit clean, so is not affected by this issue) and various
installation/configuration options to Lisp.

On my machine when I remove LC_CTYPE build works fine with
sbcl and Closure CL...
