This refactorization is trickier than it might seem. You cannot pass
the string to the octet-counter without performing the
with-checked-simple-vector adjustments beforehand. Also, this version
doesn't take into account the null terminator when computing the right
bound of the buffer.

I'd start over and try to extract the encoder funcall and the null
terminator loop, make sure that works, and then try to figure out
what's the next lowest hanging fruit.

Cheers,
