=begin
In the following script, an ASCII-8BIT String is written to a StringIO created with a UTF-8 String without error. However, a << b or a + b will raise an exception, as will writing an ASCII-8BIT String to a File with UTF-8 external encoding.

+ $ cat file_enc.rb
  # encoding: utf-8
  require 'stringio'

  a = "On a very cold morning, it was -8属F."
  b = a.dup.force_encoding "ascii-8bit"

  io = StringIO.new a
  io.write(b)
  p io.string.encoding

  File.open "data.txt", "w:utf-8" do |f|
    f.write a
    f.write b
  end

+ $ ruby2.0 -v file_enc.rb
