Exactly how StringView handles the option now. If I generate a random string using byte values then each char in that string should correspond to a single byte when specifying the ISO-8859-1. It doesn't really make since to use UTF-8 for bytes when that data should be manipulated as bytes in the first place. In the case of data being represented as a string but need to be handled as bytes. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=957424 UTF-8 being the default is not the problem of course. Throwing an exception for ASCII is.
