I stumbled upon this constraint in a project with all files encoded in ISO-8859-1, which I want to use cucumber-jvm with. It is inconvenient to make an exception for the feature files or to change the encoding of the whole project. So if there is interest in this feature I would like to help implement it.

F. ex. there could be a special comment like the language comment on the first line specifying the encoding of the file.
