 One problem is the multi-byte nature of encodings; one Unicode character can be
 represented by several bytes.  If you want to read the file in arbitrary-sized

 where only part of the bytes encoding a single Unicode character are read at the
 end of a chunk.  One solution would be to read the entire file into memory and
 then perform the decoding, but that prevents you from working with files that

 (More, really, since for at least a moment you'd need to have both the encoded
 string and its Unicode version in memory.)
