Perhaps - but inter-mixing utf8 and non-utf8 can be problematic, and
what to do can be non-obvious.

I'm sure we'd accept a patch, if you have one, though it would have to
work right (or at least reasonably) on all platforms, and determinng the
current locale can be non-trivial in some configurations.

The "easy" option is to switch everything to utf8, of course, and stop
using locales which really just make things harder and less
compatible...!
