+.I "MONO_EXTERNAL_ENCODINGS"
+If set, contains a colon-separated list of text encodings to try when
+turning externally-generated text (e.g. command-line arguments or

+When reading externally-generated text strings UTF-8 is tried first,
+and then this list is tried in order with the first successful
+conversion ending the search.  When writing external text (e.g. new
