If that were decoded using latin1 how would I then get the first two bytes
to the integer 256 and the last six bytes to their Cyrillic meaning?
(Apologies for not testing myself, short on time.)
I cannot conceive why you would.
Sorry, I was too short with my example. My use case is binary files, with ASCII metadata and binary metadata, as well
as ASCII-encoded numeric values, binary-coded numeric values, ASCII-encoded boolean values, and who-knows-what-(before
checking the in-band metadata)-encoded text. I have to process all of it, and before we say "It's just a documentation
issue" I want to make sure it /is/ just a documentation issue.
