You are right. It was already noted in the thread round the referenced original
mail. I just needed to get it working. Fast. In 99% of cases this hack should
work as all the binary data should get filtered there by is_utf8_string()
(on _read_, on _write_ this patch should be right).

This is not for any final import but it still better hack than the one before.
