Yes, Dad :-) Sorry...

Marc did this at my request. It is my intention that the encoding be hardcoded at compile time. But while there's a discussion going about what the hardcoded encoding should be, it would seem handy to have a quick way to experiment.

Okee dokee... That was one of my questions: is this experimental or not?

It is still a bit frightening, though, if it might get left in there, for the reasons I listed (to name a few) ... :-(

Cheers, -g
