Yes, but not when the third argument is a unibyte string.

I've now done the conversion in the new string-search C-level function,
converting the search string both ways, depending on what the HAYSTACK
string is.  I'm not 100% sure that I'm doing the right thing here,
though, but it seems to pass all the test cases I could come up with.  I
wrote it very late last night, though, so...  :-/
