Hi guys,

I was just looking at the overhead of proper_name_utf8() vs proper_name()
in coreutils, and noticed that using the former adds about 18K to each program.
For example truncate(1) is 62K with and 44K without.
I'm going to simplify usages for my name at least.
I don't care and anyway no one can pronounce it no matter which form is used :)
I was wondering if you preferred to keep utf8 usage for your names?
These names are seen in `cat --version` output etc.

thanks,
Pádraig.
