Sorry, perhaps my last message wasn't clear. Luit cannot ``do
nothing,'' it still needs to scan the UTF-8 for ISO 2022 escape
sequences. But it has to do that in a non-blocking manner -- remember
it's single-threaded -- and hence needs to buffer any incomplete
character it may be seeing.
Once you provide the ability to buffer up to 4 characters (UTF-8), you
might as well implement generic variable-length encoding support,
which is why I'm planning to do both UTF-8 and GB variants (and throw
in ShiftJIS for good measure) at the same time.
