Great, thanks.

But now I wonder, what can we do with this representation.
I guess set-buffer-multibyte will convert it to the intended chars, but
that bugs the question "why bother deciding into the unibyte buffer and
call set-buffer-multibyte afterwards rather than do the reverse"?
Anything else we can do with it?
