Description

Following the discussion https://github.com/haskell/os-string/issues/6

We might want to make it more prominent that the current quasi quoter is UTF-8 on linux and UTF-16LE on windows.

We might also want to provide ascii and binary quasi quoters. But it's unclear how to deal with platform differences.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked discussion in os-string issue 6 and inspecting the current quasi quoter's platform-specific behavior. Determine how the existing UTF-8 and UTF-16LE behavior should be documented, and whether ASCII and binary quoters can have consistent semantics across platforms; completion requires a decided scope.
