One massive search and replace through the new Git repository could give 
us a new name... and since the encoding is only somewhat compatible with 
UTF-8 encoding (Perl extends it), a different name would help make that 
clearer also.

We'd need to retain

#define SvUTF8 SvBlorf

for XS compatibility.
