Returns the number of bytes in the string if it were encoded in the
specified way. Note the inequality:
- .bytes("UTF-16","C") * 2 >= .codes("C")
+ .bytes("UTF-16","C") >= .codes("C") * 2
This is caused by the possibility of surrogate pairs, which are counted as one
codepoint. However, this problem does not arise for UTF-32:
- .bytes("UTF-32","C") * 4 == .codes("C")
+ .bytes("UTF-32","C") == .codes("C") * 4
