+ I get this error when enabling the `rst` plugin. I am running IkiWiki
+3.20130904.1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 14.04 in a non-English UTF-8 locale; the
+pages can also contain characters in UTF-8 encoding.

+    uncaught exception: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa9' in position 13: ordinal not in range(128)

+A fix is akin to the one for
+<http://ikiwiki.info/bugs/proxy.py_utf8_troubles/>: change
+`...format(type, name, ret)` in `proxy.py` line 253 to `format(type,
+name, repr(ret))` (which should not hurt since it's a message
+for debugging purposes only).
