It is picking up non-ASCII characters in people's names in copyright messages; that's why Boost multi-index looks so bad in the report. We need to come up with preferred approach for those with non-ASCII characters in their names.
I think the options are: ... 2. Supress all diacritical marks:
Joaquín M López Muñoz --> Joaquin M Lopez Munoz
3. Encode with HTML entities:
Joaquín M López Muñoz --> Joaquín M López Muñoz
4. Use standard LaTeX encodings:
Joaquín M López Muñoz --> Joaqu\'\in M L\'opez Mu\~noz or (as if the babel package were enabled) Joaqu'in M L'opez Mu~noz
See http://tobi.oetiker.ch/lshort/lshort.pdf section 2.4.8, Accents and Special Characters
This seems both precise and mostly readable.
It is OK if a developer wants to do that, we don't have any way to change how C++ compilers process text, so there is no that will have the desired effect. --Beman
