Really?
Say, you use cygwin to do text processing (I do, with the help of a
bleeding edge groff), and in a whim you decide to write poetry to your
girlfirend. Being a German speaker, you type, e.g.,
"Lieder_für_meine_geliebte.tr".
Did you or did you not need to type high-bit charecters in your shell?
(Don't say you type them from within your editor, that's cheating).
