My feeling is that the slang2 parser should be tweaked so that "\xE0P"
remains a 2-byte sequence but treat strings such as "\x{E0}P" and
"\x{00E0}P" as having wide characters.

Does this sound like a reasonable proposal?

This would involve changing the code near line 213 of
slang/src/slmisc.c from

        if ((isunicode == 0)
            && ((wch < 127)
                || (utf8_encode == 0)))
          {
             *s++ = (char) wch;
             continue;
          }

to

        if (isunicode == 0)
          {
             *s++ = (char) wch;
             continue;
          }
