Sorry, I copied the wrong version - my code is a bit in transition - I’m testing a new version where it is `Str{cse"UTF-8"}` instead of `Str{:UTF8}` (and the cse macro returns a `CSE{cs"Unicode", enc"UTF8"}` type.)

Frequently the 3 separate concepts of character sets, code points, and encodings get confused and conflated, and I wanted to avoid that (and allow for things to be as generic and extensible as possible).  
For example, the official Chinese standard GB18030 has a number of characters added, that are not yet part of the Unicode character set, but they represented using Unicode code points in one of the Private Use Areas.  
Because UTF-8 uses so much extra space for Chinese characters, they encode GB18030 with a 1,2,4 byte multibyte scheme, with ASCII and control characters in 1 byte, 99% of the used Chinese characters in 2 byte forms, and anything else in a 4 byte form that can encode any Unicode code point as well.

When I get around to adding full support for encodings to my package, I wish to be able to easily handle situations like that, which would end up with something like: `CSE{cs"Unicode", enc"GB18030"}` to get that 1,2,4 byte encoding scheme.
