The default mode for my vim was Latin-1. I was being lazy because I knew
how to tell gnome-terminal to do Latin-1, but I have no clue how to tell
vim to display and save UTF-8. I'm sure it's easy enough though.
On second thought... do I really want to have to figure out:
$pie â= $face;
or is that:
$pieââ;
â
