Counter-intuitive it may be, you can pass extra 'tips' to that thingy

my $encoded = $e->encode($str); # now uses =?ISO-8859-1?B?...
Despite Nick C's speed comments it may make sense to allow optional args
to encode as well.
which ones were they? I seem to be obsessed with speed currently, so I
doubt I can find them by searching for "speed". And I can't remember why
I might have suggested that allowing optional arguments would induce
serious slowdown. (by implication even when no optional arguments are used)
