I think that part of the issue with that is that the console might get  
very grumpy if it is not UTF8 clean -- if your console only speaks  
ASCII (like VT100/102) and you try to output UTF8, it barfs horribly.  
I guess that dig could try and work out if things are safe, but that  
seems fraught with peril and platform specific nonsense...
