Is there a statement that can be made with respect to accepting UTF-8
encoded source files in a z/OS hosted environment or is it implied that it
works with no changes (and there are no changes that will break this
functionality)?

Also, would these changes enable the consumption of non-UTF-8 encoded
source files on Clang as hosted on other platforms?
