If I have ASCII source code containing: "Dr.\240Who" (ISO8859-1) or "Dr.\xC2\xA0Who" (UTF-8), I really want the NBSP converted to \x41 for an IBM-1047 target, and vice-versa. It would be better if the originator had used a savvy editor such as vim and placed an actual NBSP rather than an escape sequence in the source.
