Joerg Schaible commented on IO-341:
-----------------------------------
OK, I understand your purpose now. I think we agree, that your example works
only for UTF charsets and that it is not really useful for readers - either you
know the charset in advance or the first character does not match the constant.
I'd still use a different name though. In case of a static import (yeah, I
don't like them, nevertheless ...), it's confusing. I'd take at least BOM_CHAR
or BOM only (since it is defined as char).
> A constant for holding the BOM character (U+FEFF)
