It's not a problem with file signature striping - this is trivial but
you still have to know how to encode/translate data inside the file
and for this you need CP support in compiler.
As long as we will not have CP support in compiler then current compile
error is quite good protection against possible problems caused by files
unintentionally translated to UTF8 by some editors.
