That's not a solution. Imagine the annoyance level if you are developing
for international markets, and you have a lot of files with different
encodings. And that's what we have to deal with on a daily basis, and
that sucks like a black hole...

This is a problem that was promised to be fixed in 3.0 (it's a committed
item in the 3.0 roadmap), and somehow, it's still there :(

Did you check the schedule when 3.0 is out ;-) ?
