It turns out, (3) doesn't work, at least not with "pragma warning
disable".  When you load a cpp file containing a non-ASCII character, the
compiler hits the problem character before it sees the pragma directive,
so C4819 still appears everywhere.

The only way to disable the warning is to add /wd4819 to the compiler
settings - any objection if I make that change?
