Well, this is possible. Many years ago Petr Olšák wrote such an
extension, encTeX. It is available in TeX Live but not activated as
default. You have to activate it and rebuild the formats. The default
maps were tested with Czech and Slovak, even UTF-8 can be mapped to T1
without the need of active characters which means that macros with
\futurelet and \everypar work fine. If you wish, I can give you more
details.
