AFAIU, ticket suggests to match API's subtype also to field's subtype, in addition to matching it to the field's charset/collation. But IMO it means that we cannot have other subtypes for strings in the future. I.e. subtype 4 cannot be anything else than UTF8 and so on. This looks too much limiting.
