So yes, as your see, I know this could be a tremendous work do deal with
those buggers ;-)

Nope, all it means is that your source code is utf8 encoded! :)
(don't quote the docs, I know it has some sugar on top _in some cases_ -
setting PerlIO layers of STDIN/STDOUT - but _never_ rely on that).

Sorry, looks like nobody read your bug report. :(
Quite a drag, since it's one and a half years old... I suppose nobody
cared to close it as invalid or something :(
Now it's time to quote the docs (and remember that the "utf8" it's just
an - hm - "older" form of "encoding", hopefully it will completely
disappear while I'm still alive)
use encoding [ENCNAME] ;
Sets the script encoding to ENCNAME. And unless ${^UNICODE}
exists and non-zero, PerlIO layers of STDIN and STDOUT are set
to ":encoding(ENCNAME)".
So, this preamble-encoding little helper does it's best with the code
Mason compiler generates... and only that ;-)
Sorry again John, this is not the Saint Graal we're all looking for :(
