This is something that I did not know about. I have been testing it with
yaz_connect(), i.e. giving the charset attribute, but nothing happened,
so I assumed that this was a lost case.
Apparently this trick only works with the "structured" records, i.e.
string or raw dont seem to be affected by these.
Nevertheless, nice trick, and I'll test it!
