What  about a \[u0430] coming from a UTF-8 file pro-
cessed by preconv? What corresponding input  charac-

were used?

Frankly, yes :) -- add a warning to the  description
of the .tr request. Especially so, because there are
examples in the  manual  in  which  the  mapping  is
changed  and  then  "restored" back. The user should
know the side effect of this operation.
