For me it's rather extreme - I doubt I have a single source file *without* 
non-ASCII characters. I heavily document my code, mostly in Portuguese, and 
using the Latin-1 encoding most of the time.

BTW, it's interesting that I just replied to a related question regarding the 
CSV API. As a brazilian, I'm not only Latin-1 bound - we also use d/m/y dates 
and comma as decimal separators. <sigh>
