Hm.  It's not clear to me how much bio helps here.  We don't ...
in general ... care about runes.  The characters it cares about for
parsing & the like are ASCII.  Everything else is basically an opaque
blob.  Converting from q-b, base64, and non-native character sets are
what we really care about.

The thought is that we move to utf-8 as the native internal representation of 
all internal content. The switch to bio makes that happen.
