Description
Applying base64 on string uses a weird encoding. I think we should fail with an error explaining what to use instead (and how to get the old behavior by naively encoding the string).
Right now it's a major footgun, so I think breaking backwards compatibility is worth it here (especially since the fix is easy on the user side).
