Of course :)

It seems to be a quick hack somebody implemented in need, and doing it
as a separate step was suely the easiest way to get it working.

I hope that real as-needed-column-by-column translation will be used
with bound argument queries.

It also seems possible to delegate the encoding changes to after the
query is parsed, but this will never work for EBCDIC and other funny
encodings (like rot13 ;). 

for these we need to define the actual SQL statement encoding on-wire to
be always ASCII.
