Perhaps we should always output string constants as UTF8? This would
avoid the problems with PBC compatablity. For efficency, we might want to
downgrade the string to the native encoding on loading if we see that the
native encoding will fit the string without being lossy. (Shouldn't the
transcoding functions tell their caller that?)
