This is a worse way of doing it because the ISO-8859-7 encoding has 1
byte per codepoint, meaning that it's more 'tolerant' (if that's the
word) of errors. A sequence of bytes that is actually UTF-8 can be
decoded as ISO-8859-7, giving gibberish.
UTF-8 is less tolerant, and it's the encoding that ideally you should
be using everywhere, so it's better to assume UTF-8 and, if it fails,
try ISO-8859-7 and then rename so that any names that were ISO-8859-7
will be converted to UTF-8.
That's the reason I did it that way in the code I posted, but, yet
again, you've changed it without understanding why!
