I was not happy with error message "invalid utf8 character". I am using
international character in my strings and compiler gives me this message. Of course, I can switch my source codes into utf8, but here are few tricks which can be done with plain ascii. I draw characters in graphic, using OpenGl by
calling glCallLists(somestring.length, somestring.ptr);
It will take somestring as array of indexes of displaylists where each
displaylist will draw one character and his id=ascii code. But because this
restriction it is not possible. And it is error, not
warning and cannot be disabled ANY WAY (as far as I know). You can say: Blah, utf8 is generally good thing, and this is minor unimportant issue, but I want just illustrate that restriction can create unexpected problems and that's
because I like if I have choice.
(And again this was not about delete or utf8, but general thougth)

Sorry for long post.

You can use import("file.txt"); to import files (text or binary) at compile time.

You source code however *SHOULD* remain in UTF-8 (with ASCII being a subset of it).
