    Joseph Boyle says: "It would be useful to have official names to
    distinguish UTF-8 with and without BOM."

    To see if a UTF-8 file has no BOM, you can just look at the first three
    bytes. Is this a problem? Typically when you care about a file's
    encoding form, you plan to read the file.

    Thanks
