I guess we could try and only enable those compositions for locales that
rely on something like utf-8?
Another solution for affected users is to switch to a more modern
locale, like en_US.utf-8, or to customize perl-prettify-symbols.
Non-ASCII chars are handy at various places and are becoming more and
more frequent (in Emacs and elsewhere), so it's a good idea to "upgrade"
your locale.
