Auto-detecting utf-16 generally.  Although I don't think it would give
false positives on iso-8859 text, I don't know if it could with other
charsets.

I could believe that Windows doesn't just go by byte-order-mark in
some locales where there might be a problem.  If so, it could be
useful to do the same thing.

I'm sure it's not a big deal.
