ASCII without diacritics nor underline
======================================

   This charset is available in `recode' under the name `flat'.

   This code is ASCII expunged of all diacritics and underlines, as
long as they are applied using three character sequences, with `BS' in
the middle.  Also, despite slightly unrelated, each control character is
represented by a sequence of two or three graphic characters.  The
newline character, however, keeps its functionality and is not
represented.

   Note that charset `flat' is a terminal charset.  We can convert _to_
`flat', but not _from_ it.
