let's say "E" (suggestions for a better letter welcome, a pity "u" is
already taken).
How is it possible to have an encoding neutral conversion from a
character to its ordinal code? If anything, I'd say that was *driven*
by the encoding, no?
I like the suggestion of keeping unpack("C*", ...) 8-bit clean.
