Because of possible extensions I would like to hear your opinions. I want to 
finish the work on this little piece of software, because it should be complete 
as soon as possible.

In the moment I'm thinking about some extensions, but it is unclear for me, if 
they are useful and necessary for such a basic module. Here are my ideas and 
questions...

1) Actually it is only possible to remove or add BOMs for utf-8 encoded data. It 
would be easy to extend this functionality for utf-16be, utf-16le, utf32be, and 
utf32le. I don't know if this is necessary, because Ruby doesn't support these 
encodings, and, as I understood, a direct support is not planned for the near 
future. The proposed procedure is to convert these encodings via iconv to utf-8.

Is this correct? - Is it helpful for you and users, which are not interested in 
Unicode details, to implement BOM iserters/removers for utf-16 and utf32?


2) Does a variant of guessUTF for Ruby 1.8 make sense? - I mean, is it needed 
for Ruby 1.8?


3) Does it make sense to implement methods for well-formed utf-16 and utf-32 
byte sequences? - the method "check_utf8_encoding" follows the defined Unicode 
rules for well-formed utf-8 byte sequences. Similar simple and fast checks can 
be implemented for utf-16 and utf-32, but I don't know, if it is wanted and useful.


All the more complex and complete encoding tests, as discussed in threads, I 
want to release via the optional library "Unicode Encoding Tester (UTFtest)" in 
Ruby-Forge, if they are not available (question to  Nikolai Weibull). "guessUTF" 
should contain basic functions only, but this is my view...
