So? That's not a bug, since I only need to show existence of files
that use coding systems that *could* be translated to UTF-8 but
weren't. I'm aware that not every file in a non-default encoding will
have such a cookie, and that the cookies may be mistaken, of course.

Sure, but it's ironic that *you* are saying that to *me*, when you're
on the side saying that if you get the wrong encoding somehow you want
rawbytes. Shouldn't you use tools that can explicitly tell you the
encoding? ;-)
