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.
