This will prevent control over the charset of a particular field in a
packet.
Say the filesystem on a phone uses the ascii charset and the phonebook uses
latin-1.
A user creates a directory with a name containing an accented e.
The STRING class will iterate through the supported charsets, convert it to
latin-1 and send it to the phone instead of giving an error.
