Let's say there are people who not-so-foolishly believe that trying  
to ahve strings in all possible
encodings is not technically possible and the aforementioned people  
don't understand how
a system cen reliably handle them. Especially the aformentioned  
people remember that Strings in Ruby
are mutable and can transition from being Unicode to being "something- 
else" in one method call.
