Severity: wishlist
col man page says:
All unrecognized control characters and escape sequences are discarded.
Good.
The col utility keeps track of the character set as characters are read
and makes sure the character
set is correct when they are output.
But when it is not happy, one gets just
col: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
with no way to override it. The program just quits with no output.
Why can't there be like iconv(1)
-c Omit invalid characters from output.
