Even if it's a multibyte encodind ? Maybe "default" was a better name,
what I could change in my locale if I want.

Because i usually deal with different encodings, a behaviour I like in
text editors 
 1) guess a bit when opening like the linux ''file'' command
 2) a way to select alternative encoding if magic bytes failed
 3) a save as with an encoding selector (performing conversion)
I guess I can write my own lua macro if I want it.

So, you were perfectly correct from a technical point a view.
