[cfe-dev] Fixits with multibyte chars

Hello,

The trouble is -fdiagnostics-parseable-fixits, which is supposed to be machine-readable output, and in this case is a three-byte UTF-8 character three columns or one column? I think one column is the right way to go, but I wanted to get some other opinions before I start working on a patch.

I would prefer one column, too. If however this cannot be implemented reliably in all cases,
I think that a line which is a bit too short would be better than a line which is too long:
At least it doesn't get wrapped unintentionally.
