I don't think this is the right approach. I rather think that there
should be a warning if characters > codepoint 255 are used and that it's
up to the user to do the encoding before. There's no standard that
high-codepoint characters should be encoded as utf-8.
This is similar to perl's IO handling: if the output stream has no
encoding attached, then there will be a "wide character" warning. The
user is responsible to encode the data beforehand or mark the encoding
of the output stream.
