Comment (by leonelfl):
Non english programmers need this.
While not related to Haskell language capabilities, the fact of having
tools that work universally gives credibility to the whole platform.
UTF-8 support is necessary. It must be stressed out that other people are
programming, explaning their programs and having interfaces in languages
others than english. They do this naturally and expect to so without any
inconvient.
Let's do stop thinking that Haskell is just for Haskell programmers that
program for fun and that are willing to show each others results in
english (lingua franca). Haskell platform components need to usable in
environments which purpose is not Haskell itself.
