[Gretl-devel] gretlcli.exe in the Windows console

A question for users of gretl on Windows: Do you ever use gretlcli.exe in the Windows console (cmd.exe or "PowerShell"), running in a language that requires non-ASCII characters to represent gretl's output correctly? Why I ask: Over the years we've evolved a complex and confusing mechanism to try to get this right, by recoding output to the (legacy) locale "code page" if necessary. (I'm not sure we always get it right, or even that it's possible to get it right in general.) I'd like to get rid of the complications by, in effect, saying, "gretl output will always be encoded in UTF-8, please deal with it." Dealing with it, in the Windows console, means setting your "code page" to 65001 (UTF-8). So basically I want to know: Would this be OK? Or would it hurt a lot of people? (Please note: this has nothing to do with running the gretl GUI program, it's only about running the command-line program on Windows. It's also irrelevant for anyone running gretlcli.exe in English.)
