Comment(by simonmar):

 Replying to [comment:3 batterseapower]:
 > I have such functions as part of my patch, I just always call them with
 the first parameter being localeEncoding/localeEncoding_ignore. I have
 tested them and they seem to work but I'm not sure if they are what you
 have in mind here, and they could probably be faster and more efficient
 with memory.

 That's fine then, just go ahead and use yours.
