It would be useful to have a handy way of getting the codepoint for
the characters:

  "a".codepoint_at(0) returns 97

Similarly, there are times when I simply want a raw string -- I use
Strings from time to time for images; can we ensure that there's a
"raw" encoding where:

  x = "abc"
  x.encoding = "raw"
  puts x[0] # 97

This would allow people to keep the same semantics that they have now
as long as they use "raw" strings.
