      I was browsing the vim docs, and I ran across the :scriptencoding=20
command.  Try sourcing a file with the lines

scriptencoding latin1
let fooChar =3D "=AB"
let barChar =3D "\xab"

and then try

:echo fooChar barChar

I suppose it will look pretty boring if you have a version with=20
-multi_byte but if you have m-b support and 'encoding' is set to=20
"utf-8", then fooChar looks good and barChar is an invalid byte.

      There will still be problems if the user wants "=AB" and "=BB"=20
characters in the file or (less likely, I think) uses an encoding that=20
cannot translate these characters, but I think this is the right way to=20
include funky characters.  When we write more of doc/imaps.txt , I think=20
we should recommend this approach.
