I'd rather not add any arg and simply encode with utf-8 if it's not
already unibyte.  After all, non-utf-8 uses should be inexistent right now
since the code signals an error, and requiring an explicit call to
encode-coding-string for those rare cases where you want something else than
utf-8 (rare and getting rarer in the future, most likely) is really not
a big deal.
