Hello,

A chinese user reported that some characters don't show up fine on
its console.  This happens to be because character 128+27 is handled
specially by the linux Console.  I believe the same issues can happen
with other characters sets.  Since linux' terminfo makes applications
use \E[ anyway, would it be ok to add an option to disable the 128+27
handling?
