I worked a lot on making sure this works properly. However, it's 
possible that there are some lingering issues.

I also did not spend much time optimizing these paths (whereas I spent a 
ton of time getting the utf8 line parsing as fast as it could be). 
Partly because finding things other than utf8 in the wild is rare, and 
partly because I have nothing to compare it with to know what is possible :)
