Currently if you attempt to paste UTF-8 characters into a buffer which
is in 8 bit encoding mode, SciTE fails silently. I find this annoying
because for a while I couldn't figure out why this was happening. I
think it would be better to tell the user that you can't paste UTF-8
or Unicode into an 8 bit encoded buffer. Alternatively you could paste
the 8 bit representation or automatically change the buffer to UTF-8.

On a related note, is there a way to set the default encoding to be
UTF-8, especially on new, unsaved buffers? Its annoying that SciTE
requires me to choose UTF-8, while most other programs do it by
default (my locale is set to en_US.UTF-8). Setting code.page to 65001
doesn't quite do this - it just makes "8 bit" really mean "UTF-8",
which makes it UTF-8 by default, but loses the ability to do 8 bit.
