There are zero compilers that compile u8 char literals in C mode. Therefore,
this is in no way a compatibility bug.
Additionally, enabling them as an extension would break valid code, as Richard
pointed out, which makes implementing this actually harmful.
This bug is 100% invalid and will not be implemented in clang unless you can
convince WG14 this is worth doing.
Please do not reopen this, the maintainer for Clang rejected this already and
explained it in very clear terms why it would be harmful.</pre>
