I rather doubt that there are actually-valid use cases for this kind of thing, because editor support for text files that mix multi-byte and single-byte encodings is basically non-existent. A possible exception might be testing scenarios that employ `use utf8` and `no utf8` as a way to manipulate the UTF8 flag on literal UTF-8 strings. But there are other ways to do that. -- Arne Johannessen <https://arne.johannessen.de/>Thread Previous | Thread Next
