default client encoding in postgresql.conf

looking in my freshly installed 8.3.3, I see this in the postgresql.conf

#client_encoding = sql_ascii            # actually, defaults to database
         # encoding
 

Now, certainly initdb can't know for sure what encoding a future database will 
be in, but since it does know what encoding template0 & friends will be in, 
and most databases are copied from those (including encoding), wouldn't a 
better default be to set it the encoding of template0?
