Even when including the UTF-8 stuff, you could/should use "#ifdef
FMT_UTF8" (this is defined by the UTF-8 patch) in the assembler files,
for a version that optionally keeps that bitshift optimisation.
Later, I/you/we might end up with UTF-8 aware code that still use the
optimisation when the --utf8 option is not used. I really try to avoid
performance impacts when not using it. Though I guess this means having
(yet another) two of each arch-dependant function. Maybe the speedup is
not worth it?
