If you do not encode, then you have "unreadable" strings in the image
and operations like #copyFrom:to:, #size, #indexOf:, ... might answer
unexpected or invalid results, because UTF-8 strings are just treated
as byte arrays.

If you do encode, then you have "readable" strings in the image but
you might run into widestring/encoding problems (check the open issues
on the tracker).
