Just to add, compiling that test program with FPC 2.6.4 I get the
correct output in output.data, no matter what my locale setting is.
That's what I meant by the fact that I can accurately assume AnsiString
contains a UTF-8 payload (because I'm reading UTF-8 data), and that the
RTL and FCL did not make any encoding conversions.
