For now at least the API should be made compatible with base.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm afraid not. The TextEncoding type ties encoding and decoding together, when in pure code you need just one or the other. The TextEncoding design is fine for read/write Handles, where you may need both, but it does not make sense for pure code, where the current API provided by text is more appropriate.</div>
