This would be implying that there's a single "execution" or "native"
encoding, whereas there are many.

- encoding used for character literals
- what the locale has been set to (at compile time, at run time)
- what file names use, per filesystem, there can be more than one (*)
- what file contents use
- what the console/the terminal uses

(*) Here "none" (arbitrary NTBS not interpreted as characters by the FS) is
an option
