So we need some way of telling from an encoding object (e.g.

Okay, which way do you like, attribute or method ?
Let us make it a method - then most encodings can inherit as default.
I think method is
more elegant but attribute seems easier to fetch. Since this is more
for PerlIO than Encode itself, I would appreciate if you gave me the API
(just name would be enough)
But hard to think of - don't blame you for asking.
and I will add them to ISO-2022 stuff (not
just JP but KR has one, too).
Add
sub line_aware { '' } # false
to Encode::Encoding
and
sub line_aware { "\n" } # true, hint at chars that will do
To those that need it
Exact meaning of value of string (other than as truth value) to be
thrashed out later. May either be $/ like, or perhaps a "set" or ...
