      I think we should try this.  Another new branch?  Personally, I 
prefer the substitute() approach over iconv(), because I think I 
understand it better.

      Well, I have experimented a lot.  Remember the experiments I asked 
you to repeat,

:let foo = "\xab"
:echo foo =~ foo
:echo iconv(foo, 'latin1', &enc) =~ foo

Your variant may also work, but I did it this way on purpose.  AFAICT it 
works.
