As much as you like it, there is a slight problem with it. Linux will currently throw virtual consoles out of UTF8 mode when reset is called.

These posts argue about terminfo being the culprit. But how can terminfo be at fault, when `echo -en "\ec"` triggers it too?
Since I am in a patch mood, here's my stance/patch, which is compile and run tested and behaves as expected (both with `echo` and `reset`).
