The codec machinery was carefully designed not to introduce extra overhead when not using Unicode in programs. The above approach pretty much kills this effort :-)

This effort is dead already. For example, on Unix, the file system default encoding is initialized from the user's preference; to verify that the encoding really exists, a codec lookup is performed.
