  In ksc5601.h in the same directory as jisx0208.h is found, reverse
solidus in KS X 1001 (formerly KS C 5601) is mapped to the full width
reverse solidus as suggested for JIS X 0208. So, this is not even
consistent across character sets. Anyway, I'm for 'fixing' jisx0208.h
as suggested.  Your case against appears not very important in practical
cases because JIS X 0208 is rarely used alone but almost always used with
US-ASCII in which case reverse solidus is usually drawn from US-ASCII
not from JIS X 0208.
