OK so it seems we're on the same page. The next question is what
information exactly do you need from writeEncodingPreamble? Do you just
need a bool 'use_inputenc' that is true if either
\usepackage[...]{inputenc} or \usepackage[...]{luainputenc} is output by
writeEncodingPreamble?
Do you want to do the C++ work or would you prefer for me to? I think it
should be simple but I'm happy to do the work since I've finally wrapped
my head around the issue.
