Can someone comment on this?
In some debug sessions I saw a lot of string_compare ->
string_transcode cased by this default.
We should probe and set the default at configure time. For most folks
currently, it should be USASCII or (perhaps) Latin1. I don't think we
need to go full-out Unicode to start with, at least not for now. (Though
I would like to get Unicode and Shift-JIS transcoding, at the least,
sorted out reasonably soon)
The default chartype is USASCII now.
