I am not sure it would be wise to attempt that. The diff files do not
typically say which encoding they use, and they might not use a single
encoding at all (if you switch from one encoding to the other and sub-
mit a diff to a mailing list, if you have a patch file making changes
to multiple files in different encodings), it's not likely that there
will be any encoding specified at all. It might then be better to use
it as text-like binary type.
