I cunningly left out the legacy encodings mapping issue from this
version since we obviously need to hammer out the more basic API
policy first, but those would of course be:
bytes_to_utf8($string, $encoding)
utf8_to_bytes($string, $encoding)
chars_to_utf8($string, $encoding)
utf8_to_chars($string, $encoding)
With lots of opportunity to croak(): "You want Shift-JIS encoded into
Turkish EBCDIC? Think again, bozo." And once we get the above working:
from_to($string, $from_encoding, $to_encoding)
from_to($string, $from_encoding, $to_encoding [, $strict])
