There were performance issues, and in addition we had made the decision to
treat the message data as 7-bit ASCII where possible, so it made sense at
the time.   There was also a good deal of cargo-culting, in that "use
bytes" would hopefully just avoid any unicode-related issues entirely. ;)

IMO it now makes sense to try to deal with Unicode more sensibly, as
John's plan outlines.
