Yeah. We can do what we like with the UTF8 format but I'm considerably
more worried about the aspect of making random changes to the
plain-ASCII output. On the other hand, we changed that just a release
or so ago (to put in the multiline output in the first place) and
I didn't hear complaints about it that time.
