Description
node 8.3 now ships with experimental TextEncoder/TextDecoder - https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/docs/api/util.html#util_class_util_textdecoder
If perf is considerably better than node-iconv we could feature detect it and use instead of node-iconv when available

Research direction

Done means recording whether performance is considerably better and, if so, implementing feature detection so the faster option can be used when available.
