Lets consider, how your proposed hack differs from mine:
You plan to force non-locale-aware programs to 8859-1,
it works right for 8859-1 users as exactly matched case,
so for such users my hack == your hack, no diffs exists.
When users are not 8859-1, your hack != my hack, because
you load so-called 'default udefined table' and I load
table which match current charset. Lets consider, what is better
for user, some 'default undefined hack' or code table
which match his charset exactly?
