>
> Java and C# Thrift assume that all strings should be UTF-8. A better
> approach would be:
> - Give the readString and writeString protocol methods an encoding
> parameter, probably defaulting to UTF-8 for compatibility and convenience.
> - Make generated struct readers and writers pass the argument to the
> protocol objects for each string.
> - Allow a type annotation to override the default UTF-8 encoding.
> - All other languages (except Python 3) should ignore the annotation, but it
> will serve as documentation for the application.
