Sharing with the community: text transcoding libraries

Hi. Id be happy to improve the interface for Codepagex. Some of the encodings are quite large an this is why Codepagex is configurable in the first place. Option 2 seems fine, except it seems a bit clumsy. An option where codepages are dynamically compiled on use seems to be the best option, I’d have to think about how this could be implemented.

Whatever I/we decide here, compatibility will also be an issue here, as Codepagex does compile a few codepages by default, and changing the selection algorithm could break code

Speaking on the subject of Codepagex, there is still one important feature missing which is support for io lists. These would boost performance as for many conversins, string parts could be reused..
