The unicode support I'm learning in Go is, "Everything is utf-8,
right? RIGHT?!?" It also has the interesting behavior that
indexing strings retrieves bytes, while iterating over them
results in a sequence of runes.

It comes with support for no encodings save utf-8 (natively) and
utf-16 (if you work at it). Is that really enough?
