   =7C When using tcsh from the package =22static-tcsh=22,
   =7C the shell does not accept UTF-8 input on the command line.
 
 I believe that our locale code (in libc) requires dynamic linking
 in order to work - with a statically linked binary, dynamic linking
 doesn't work, and so locales don't work either.
 
 Whether there are any plans to do anything about that I have no idea,
 as best I can tell, no-one is really brave enough to go anywhere near
 the locale code.
