I think that if SQL COLLATE gets in we'll get this almost for free. Collation and charset are both properties of strings. Once you've got a mechanism to know the collation of a string, you just attach the charset to the same place. The only difference is that changing charsets requires recoding, wheres changing collation does not. I think it'd just become a special case of the Relabel node.
