Note that [string canBeConvertedToEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] will
always return yes, because UTF-8 can represent any unicode string, and
NSString is always* unicode string.

* It is possible to get an NSString which does not contain valid
unicode, by creating an invalid surrogate pair. If you do this,
conversion to UTF-8 will fail, but [string
canBeConvertedToEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] will still return YES!
