   |My personal view is that the
   |occurrence of trigraph escapes in the same file as non-ISO characters
   |(i.e., stuff written both ways) should be cause for an error message.
   |This would at least simplify conversion.

It may be a blind spot on my part, but how is the compiler to know
that 
	"??<whatever> ... \<whatever>" 
is not really,
	"??<whatever> ... <Nat'l char><whatever>",
which ought to be permissible?
