I'm not quite to the point of pushing TC39 to consider, but after I get around to sorting it better, I'd love to see all of them eventually implemented. Note that for some common cases, like to ASCII or UTF-8 when no character in the string is above U+007F or to UCS-2/UTF-16 when at least one character is above that, it's a trivial `memcpy` for multi-character strings.
