Maybe we should implement decoding unibyte text to produce multibyte text.

* A function could decode text from a unibyte buffer and put it in
  another buffer which is multibyte.

* A function could decode a whole unibyte buffer
  into the same buffer, and mark it as multibyte.

For encoding, vice versa.
