Yes. Positioning using movement is the best... The problem I ran across
was that if you do something like

:set encoding=3Dutf8
:let bar =3D "=AB"
=09(where the =AB character is typed using <C-v><<)
:echo strlen(bar)
  2

Can this problem be taken care of using the change in encoding etc?
Hmm... I see that
:echo strlen(iconv(bar, &encoding, 'latin1'))
  1
:echo strlen(substitute(bar, '.', 'x', 'g'))
  1

So those two methods might work... It will be a definite improvement
over the current "hack".

On a different note:

imaps.vim now contains:

=09let textEnc =3D iconv(text, "latin1", &enc)
=09[snip]

=09" If there are no place holders, just return the text.
=09if textEnc !~ '\V'.phs.'\.\{-}'.phe
=09=09return text
=09endif

Shouldn't the comparision be:

=09" If there are no place holders, just return the text.
=09if textEnc !~ '\V'.phsEnc.'\.\{-}'.pheEnc
=09=09return text
=09endif

Maybe this is why Fabio is having that problem?

I am wary of making any changes here because I haven't thought about
this as much as you have...
