Tradindexed with non ASCII newsgroup names

Hi all,
Though tradindexed overview technically works with international
newsgroup names (UTF-8), one should note the following thing:
~/spool/overview/t/t% find .
./trigofacile.test.IDX
./trigofacile.test.DAT
./v
./v/trigofacile.test.vide.IDX
./v/trigofacile.test.vide.DAT
./?
./?/trigofacile.test.υτφ8.IDX
./?/trigofacile.test.υτφ8.DAT
./?
./?/trigofacile.test.ᾅ.IDX
./?/trigofacile.test.ᾅ.DAT
./?/trigofacile.test.ᾅ.IDX
./?/trigofacile.test.ᾅ.DAT
./?/trigofacile.test.ᾅ.IDX
./?/trigofacile.test.ᾅ.DAT
./?
./?/trigofacile.test.ᾅ.IDX
./?/trigofacile.test.ᾅ.DAT
The "?" chars in my terminal are: '\316', '\317' and '\341'.
The directory structure is made with the first byte of each component.
Thus, for instance trigofacile.test.υτφ8 is not in spool/overview/t/t/υ
(upsilon).
Finding a newsgroup in such a structure will be harder for a human.
Maybe we should keep it as-is (otherwise, performance will probably be
affected if we have to first extract the first UTF-8 character of each
component).
