I’d rather have ‘computed-file’ do just what it’s documented to do; I
don’t think this kind of thing belongs there.  (It’s beyond the scope of
this patch set too.)

Ideally Guile would just do the right thing without us fiddling with
locales.  That is, it would default to UTF-8 rather than ASCII.

Thanks,
