I didn't know Scite uses a non-standard way to mark utf8 encoded files.
Why not use a BOM instead? There is use for a cookie as it breaks with
unicode standards while the BOM solves just that.
"Where a BOM is used with UTF-8, it is  only used as an ecoding
signature to distinguish UTF-8 from other encodings — it has nothing to
do with byte order."

Unfort. yes.
