This would cripple the feature, so I'm -1.
FWIW the Ruby interpreter (1.8.5) seems to require this flag to allow you to turn on the Japanese code set.
-Kkcode specifies KANJI (Japanese) code-set
I have no idea whether or not this cripples the feature in Ruby, and perhaps it's an apples/oranges comparison.
