I am afraid that our approach is the only one that will not silently mess
up your code. All others will work most of the time and then suddenly break
things.

An IDE should not do that, ever.

Thank you for the patch! I do not think that it should be applied, but I
appreciate the work you put in.

PS: Is this an issue still? Qt5 requires all files to be utf8 encoded
anyway, and AFAIK so do other big C++ libs. So maybe it would make more
sense to make your team mates standardized on utf8.

Best Regards,
Tobias
