Just ran -help on 5.2.5 and 5.8b9, the -encoding option is not mentioned in any
of those.
The only current use case I could think of would be Cuis, who might want to set
it to Latin15 in order to interpret € correctly.
Sure, the StrikeFonts (taken from Cuis) included in Pharo/Squeak actually cover
Latin15 as well, but everywhere else, encoding of ByteStrings is assumed to be
Latin1...
So better with some visual discrepancies, namely displaying ¤ as €, € as ?,
etc. than reading/writing the wrong characters to/from external sources
Cheers,
Henry
