Maybe because the compiler and preprocessor tokenizers are made with a 7
bit character set in mind? The fact that it works for 8-bits in a ""
pair is just because the scanner looks for " and doesn't bother with
anything else?
One of these days maybe an ANSI-C compiler will accept unicode
characters as input.
An old NeXT compiler actually accepted RTF as input! Now that was wild!
