I believe so, yes.

I wasn't aware -KU still worked though, as Michael pointed out.  I  
thought for sure I had tried that and got a warning about it being  
ignored now.

It may be that the TextMate team could use that.  What all does it set  
in 1.9?  Source encoding obviously.  It seems to affect  
default_external as well, but not touch default_internal.  Do I have  
that right?  Does it have any other special effects?

Will -KU stay supported for the foreseeable future?
