I would like to keep the functionality that the user can specify
the character set that his/her terminal can display.  Just like
with other programs, e.g. vi, this is done with LANG or LC_CTYPE.

Verifying the locale setting of the user does not prevent from
adding protocol level support for character sets in the future,
if such protocol extension is ever added.

P.S.  Please include me in email replies, as I do not subscribe
to the tech-userlevel list.
