Exactly.  Can't.  Period.  End of text, end of file, end of
transmission.  CSI doesn't help if _you_ have a character set that
includes them, because _I don't_.

This is _exactly_ the problem.  I do _not_ want to forbid my users to
use Shift JIS, not to mention all encodings unknown to me when I write
my program.  AFAICT, that is exactly what I would be forced to do by
CSI.
