I vote for b). We recently had an encoding problem when we built a
project that was developed on Windows on a Unix server. Fortunately,
it caused a syntax error so that it was detected early. I can imagine
cases where the encoding problem is just in a string. Chances are
high, that such a bug will go undetected for a long time.
