the thing is: i have a file where i want to use some one-byte encodings which looks like "bad utf-8". compiler complains even if i'm using that in comments (and i want such encodings in one-byte strings too!). can i somehow force it to shut up and just accept what i wrote?

yes, i know that "just convert that to utf-8 and it will be fine" solution exists. unfortunately, i don't want utf-8 overhead for my small gfx library. it using byte strings, and it using codes [128…255] to draw some specific chars. i don't want to add unicode mapping table to library, i just want the compiler to accept non-utf one-byte strings silently when i told it to.

yeah, i know that i can write such strings like this: "\xc2\xcc\xd1!". this is not the way i want to write clear text, and there is no way to mixin code without mixin(), so i can't write compile-time macro for it too.

tnx.
