I don't think the buffer API should be allowing for
anything that requires, or could require, the provider
to convert the data into a different form. It should
stick to being a way of getting direct access to the
underlying data, whatever form it's in.

There could be type codes for various representations
of Unicode if desired. But re-encoding should be a
separate step.
