Would this add yet another label to all CPAN modules?
Thread: (Unsafe, Safe, Aware)
UTF8: (Unsafe, Safe, Aware)
Only when they do what you have done below:
The default behavior would be the same as what happens now.
Or perhaps,
use utf8 ':global'; # I'll take my chances
The alternative is to put C<use caller 'encoding'> in every
module that is known to not handle "binary" data. (Which I
expect will be 99% of the modules on CPAN.)
