But nothing should be spitting out platform-endian UTF-16! In the
case that there's a lot of unmarked big-endian UTF-16 around (as I
understand the ISO-10646 standard recommends), then that assumption
that everything emits unmaked platform-dependent UTF-16 will be
wrong. (It's never right to have a program emit
platform-dependent-endian UTF-16 except in the case of system-local
cache files. That breaks interoperating between your program on
different systems.)
