But why would you use UTF8 to encode fixed length ascii strings?
The encoding is set per-database. Even if you need UTF-8 to encode
user-supplied strings, there can still be many small ASCII fields in
the database. Country code, currency code etc.
ISTM we should revisit this when we get per-column encoding.
