Details:
`.hcode' and `.hw' are limited to raw 8bit characters. Instead, they should
accept any characters entities like `\[u00AD]'. Similarly, `.hpfcode' should
be modified to allow entities, too. [1]
With the current implementation it may be required to use latin1 or other
non-7-bit coded input files. utf-8 does not work directly for these requests.
This may limit the portabilty. Extending these requests to accept codings
like \[u00AD] would allow to use standard ASCII input files for all purposes.
