The way I'm implementing this is to define two new types of charsets
(in addition to the usual four): 128-character and 128x128 character.
When such a ``wide'' charset is mapped to GR, C1 characters are
ignored, and graphic characters come out instead. When such a charset
is mapped to GL, C0 characters are still parsed normally, and only
characters from 0x20 upwards are available.
A side-effect is that in 7-bit mode, 0x00-0x1F graphic characters are
only available by using single-shifts, but I think this is something
we can live with.
