The current pdstring format of lists of bytes seems to be working out pretty well. I just had a thought, it would be nice to be able to write Unicode text out as UTF-8 files using [binfile]. I think currently it only accepts byte values of 0-255. What if it converted values > 255 in the UTF-8 style? Or should that be a separate [utf8file]? I suppose the advantage of [utf8file] would be to make an easy conversion to [utf16file] and [utf32file].
