My test file makes no assumptions.  It explicitly sets the hyphenation code it
wants to get the breaking it wants.  It was purposely designed to rely on no
Latin-1 hyphenation codes set by any past or present startup files.

True, in this case we don't need to.  However:
* It used to work, and now it doesn't.
* The manual currently says the first .hcode argument can be a special
character.
* We should want to minimize the amount of Latin-1 users are required to
supply in input.  At present nothing can be done about the second .hcode
argument, but the first could previously be specified using only ASCII
characters.
