Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the consequences of this PR, in relation to Intellj's (and other IDEs) default encoding for .properties files. Intellj sets the default encoding for .properties files to ISO-8859-1, which would be the wrong encoding if the .properties files are converted to UTF-8 native. This would cause certain key,values to be skewed when represented in the file.
Although the default file-encoding for .properties can be switched to UTF-8, it is not the default.
Wondering what some solutions/thoughts to this are.
