One might as well hook in simple support for using iconv() to convert
to Unicode/UTF-8 before (and after?) processing.  They also have to
handle \uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX as Unicode regardless of input format, so
internal processing really needs to be some form of Unicode
regardless.  What the default input format should be is probably
another issue.
