Sure, but in this case Bjarni didn't want to use that module; it was
pulled in by a dependency. And as far as I can tell, the diagnostics he
got were (in some sense) all false positives.
How about if we separate out the "if you care about
internationalization" diagnostics into a separate category, enabled if
GNULIB_UNUSUAL_ENCODING_CHECK is defined, instead of GNULIB_POSIXCHECK?
These diagnostics aren't so much about POSIX as they are about GB18030
and other unusual encodings, and since they generate so many false
positives they're good candidates for a separate category.
