Wow!  Flexi-streams even cons less than trivial-utf-8!  It seems that I
have outdated info (I remember from not long ago some discussions about
Hunchentoot being slow, and about flexi-streams being the cause).  I
still like trivial-utf-8 better, partly because it's simpler and I
understand it better. ;)  I will rethink the decision about
trivial-utf-8 during the refactoring -- I'll have to look at the
portability, too.

Regards,
Maciej.
