Fwd: cl-pdf encoded in iso-8859-15, crashes ql:quickload with utf-8

Hello cl-pdf maintainers,

A problem arises when loading cl-pdf through quicklisp. I reported the
error to their mailing listed and they pointed me to you. The problem
is that the files seem to be encoded in latin1, which is a problem
when you load them without specifying the encoding explicity. If your
default encoding (utf-8 in my case) is incompatible with latin1, you
get an error. In this case, the ñ in one of the comments yields a byte
sequence incompatible with utf-8 if encoded in latin1.

While I am not exactly sure what they want you to do about this, I was
hoping maybe you could at least give your opinion on the matter.

Greetings,

Hraban Luyat
