Sure: all conversions are available as memory to memory conversions
for direct use.

My conversion type is parametrized by input and output character types,
so you can even define UTF-16 as giving [Word16]. But [Word8] must be
used for handles, so I think that in practice conversions are generally
between [Char] and [Word8].
