Well, I saw it referenced somewhere, and Ben
confirmed it.  I think it was the same reason
type Character was expanded from 128 to 256.

In any event, the first 128 characters are 
never going to change.  So, worse case, I'll
cut and paste the current ASCII package and
paste it into my own "My_ASCII" package and
do a library level rename.  It will probably
have all the character constants I will ever
need.  Or I could be lazy and make ASCII
rename Latin_1.

And, if I turns out that I am wrong, then in
twenty years, when it finally goes away, I'll
admit you're right.  :-)

Well, I think I've got a current copy of the ASCII standard, and it
defines only 128 characters...
