  * Encode immediately in hPutStr and hPutChar
  This means that decoding errors will be detected accurately, and can
  be caught and handled.  Overall the implementation is simpler this way
  too.
  
  It does impose a performance hit on small hPutStrs, although larger
  hPutStrs seem to be unaffected.  To compensate somewhat, I optimised
  hPutStrLn.
