+Non-7 bit characters (that is, above 127) in CFSTR() are supported, although care must
+be taken in dealing with files containing them. If you can trust your editor and tools
+to deal with non-ASCII characters in the source code, then you can use them directly
+in CFSTR(); otherwise, you can represent such characters with their escaped octal
+equivalents in the encoding the compiler will use to interpret them (for instance,
+O-umlaut is \303\226 in UTF-8). UTF-8 is the recommended encoding here,
+since it is the default choice with Mac OS X developer tools.
