In that case, if I want to turn the data I get from unspecifed

encoding on MacOSX? MacRoman?
I have no idea what the default / most often used encoding would be.
It's an interesting question. I kind of doubt that it's anything with
"Mac" in the name, or anything as modern and good as UTF8.
I do not really mind that the encoding is lossy, but I do not want
nil and I want as redable as possible results.
Perhaps you should prepare for nil results, and in that case attempt
fallback conversions with different encodings? This should only be
bad / expensive if your first choice for encoding is often incorrect,
something that you should be able to easily identify and fix.
