I do. But I need to know where they begin in the buffer (containing
the encoded C string.) I don't see a way to keep this information at
present... :(
For instance, if the buffer only contains "\xc2\xa9foo", I'd like
to receive a string with the following text properties:
#("©foo" 0 1 (point 0) 1 2 (point 8) 2 3 (point 9) 3 4 (point 10))
The first characters actually takes 8 characters in the buffer!
