Yes, my first attempt to fix PR93672 did exactly that, see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=93672#c1

But since it doesn't work for '\xff' (because that's EOF when char is
signed) it only handles 127 of the 128 possible bugs ;-)
I'm also not sure it's conforming, since the standard specifies how
the matching is done, and that won't match negative chars.
