I muttered that there already are various conventions for stuff that has to be on the first line. One of them is the old convention that if the first line has '\" t or '\" e or so, the formatter tbl or eqn is to be invoked before feeding stuff to groff. Bruno replies that there is no conflict: both t and coding can be on the first line. Ugly. Let me stress two other things, one of them repeats what I said yesterday or so. If there is a pipeline, then earlier stages in the pipeline already need the character set. So, conversion may have to be done before the input reaches groff. And that also brings up a different point. If I have a file that has topline -*- coding: EUC-JP -*- and I feed it to a program like iconv, must that program change the topline? Very, very ugly.
