Writing out a character in the eight-bit charset will produce an
eight-bit character, and vice-versa.
The process is the same, just put on a lower level. The only visible
difference will be the value of aref: it will produce values in the
range of the eight-bit charset instead of 128-255. The challenge will
be to find and fix all such assumptions.
